More RX refills than pharmacy will let me get

[jondoe777]

Hey guys, my pharmacist wont allow me to refill my prescription even though ive got lots of refills according to the date that im supposed to be completely out. Ex. 4) refills for a 3mo supply betwen now amd October but they wont let me refill until September, so ill only use 1 refill. Anyone else ran into this and found a way around it? Not sure if its the pharmacy or do they all do it, using walgreens now

It’s federal shit due to being a controlled substance: timed distribution and expiration fuckery causes this.
The pharmacy just needs to call your doctor to verify that the prescription is still valid. I’ve dealt with this before when my last doctor wrote me a 6 refill script, but due to the federal time shit, it expired after two. Once the doctor reverified, all was good for another six months.
