That same situation happened to a very close friend, exactly as you described it. Picked up the original Rx, and then had a call for the exact same PK the next day. Much less supply however. Me on the other hand, they just short me lol. My karma should be due for a big payout at some point lol. The other issue I've had with CVS and WG when I first moved to this state, is them telling me that they didn't have my medication in stock and wouldn't for months. I had my doctor call corporate and low and behold the same pharmacist "who was out of stock" filled my Rx later that same day.
Now if they were to check databases, they would see that I filled everything per policy and never had a single refill filled early. Never filled more than one Rx at a time etc. However, at work I wear professional clothing that covers up my tattoo sleeved arm...most people are shocked when they see it (as I guess it changes me as a person?) That's the only reason I could figure why'd they give me the run-a-round. At this point, I'm tired of the BS politics of my country and having to pay my high co-pays to get a refill; since in this state, you have to bring in a new paper Rx every time...
All states have that law of having to bring in a new written scrip every month in order to get it filled. That is not fair to punish the people that suffer greatly and have legit reasons for the med. It's sometimes very hard and expensive to go to the doctor every month. But, it's what we, the ones doin' it right have to do. The rec. users will still go on getting it as they always have, so who's really being punished? Not them.
Then there is the occasional pharmacist with a God complex who thinks they have the right to over rule your doctor. Their job is to verify the scrip and fill it, not decide if they think you should have it, no matter how you look in their eyes. They should be sued for discrimination in my book. If we have to follow the prescribing laws, then so should they. That really gets my goat.
This world is falling apart and I fear PK's are going to be eventually cut out in most situations. I believe it was Linville who told me they are planning to cut way back on the production of PK's. THAT will be catastrophic for millions of people and what else can they do but go in search of relief on the streets. The Heroin problem is nothing compared to what it will become if they do that. Not to mention the people that would commit suicide because they can't stand the pain anymore. But hey, maybe that's part of their goal.
It's gonna get VERY, VERY scary in this country in the future. It's gonna make Nazi Germany look like peaches and cream.
What can we do about it? NOTHING

All so true Cricket. What really resonated with me was your comment of over ruling the doctor. The only medication I have been consistently having filled was a sl33p med @mb!en. Because my doctor Rx me 10MG since 2010, that's what I've been using. When I moved down to glorious SWFL, the pharmacist said that the dose was too strong. This was before I asked to speak with him personally and he saw my 6'6'' body at 275 pounds and changed his mind. Fill the Rx, check the database if you want to be superc0p, but don't tell me my dosages unless you're my PCP and have MD after your name.
As for PK's it's sad what they're doing to the people that genuinely need it. I still standby my thinking that they'd rather have good people suffer...Honestly, I think Nazi Germany will be a lot freer of a country than us if things continue to go down this slippery slope.
