My advice is to find another pharmacy. Before you do that, politely ask your current pharm for the district manager for that pharms business address. When they ask why (which they shouldn't) explain that your DOC asked for it. Making it seem like it's a DOC issue will prompt them to do what you have asked. If they think it's coming from you, they will be more likely to say that they can't give that out or some crap. If that happens, we need to find you the right place to contact to explain the rigamoral they put you through. Pharms are there to make sure those of us needing meds- especially ADs and such that can be devestating by missing a few days. This pharm is still in business because no one lets the managers and high ups know how difficult it is to do somethign as simple as fill a prescript- and fill it correctly. Pharms NEED to have the meds that WE need... and if they give you such a hard time- don't give them your business and explain to the highest up possible to explain how difficult it is to maintain your meds because of this place.
There's my rant. I hate bad pharms- I have written many times when things like that happen, and I always get a handwritten letter back. That proves to me that the pharms want our business BAD. And if they want it-it's up to us to let them know when they need to shape up a little.

ps- TOO MUCH COFFEE FOR ME DARN IT> Does anyone else suffer constant problems with their pharmacy? Mine won't refill an rx until 2 days before the previous one is expected to be used up. That's fine, but it's not uncommon for them to tell me that they're out of whatever drug I need when I do order a refill, and I end up missing a day or two (like today) until they get it in. If not that, they forget to make ordered refills, short me pills, etc. Some of them have never even heard of the drugs I order ("What's mir..ta...za....PINE?"). Argh!
