To Janet - Walgreen's

[Guest guest]

Hi Janet,

Yea, I have learned too that Walgreen's is not the place to have

pain med prescriptions filled. I had similar problems to yours.

Luckily, my husband's insurance will cover that for me so I was

able to transfer those scripts to a pharmacy that a friend works at

so he makes sure that he fills it on time and correctly.

Unfortunately, my husband's insurance will not cover my zofran

so I am stuck going to Walgreen's for that one. Seeing that it is a

$2,000 monthly script, I figure I have to put up with the hassle

and indignanty of dealing with Walgreen's in exchange for getting

it for $10.00 co-pay. But even so, they are quite unreliable with

this script too (refusing to fill it, shorting me on the number of

pills, etc). I really do not like dealing with that chain but it has a

monopoly with our self-insured program (probably kick-backs

involved).

But thanks for the warning.....it is nice to know that my

experiences are not unique (well, I wish that it didn't happen to

any of us, but you know what I mean).
