woo. the pharmacy that requires (by law, as I understand it) me to fill my adhd meds the day I run out is also out of them.

@aeva Let's just hope you don't need them as you run out/on the way to the pharmacy...

@technicalotter i do not think the politicians who made these laws had considered or were particularly concerned about how cruel they are

@aeva I had a pharmacist (in California) that filled on day 27/30, though at some point I had to switch and my current one only does 29/30. Still rough but not "literally zero margin" rough.
More than one pharmacist has claimed to me that their refill policy was law, when in reality it was some combination of insurance policy, corporate policy, and their own ego (they have some discretion and this is one of few places where they actually get to use it). Walgreens was the worst about that.

That sucks. It's because the system does not believe that their patiens can be trusted to do the right thing on their own.
Then it's a good day to try things...
I don't mean do things, but only to try.
Like almost cleaning up. or almost organizing well, everything. everywhere all at once. -

@aeva the situation is really bad in japan. shortage for last 6 months of the single approved ADHD drug, almost totally unavailable for the last 2 months. no hope in sight.

it's too bad i can't transfer the resulting attention pain to the policy makers who mandated cruelty, but i suppose the periodic random involuntary reminder that yes the meds actually do something important is useful in a way

@aeva our persecution is inexcusable, pernicious, and openly malicious.
however, whatever policy your pharmacy is claiming to adhere to, it's not real. i'm at most 20 miles from you and i routinely get fills for my schedule ii meds as early as 3 days before the prior fill runs out. this has been the case for phentermine, dextroamphetamine, and lisdexamfetamine, from 2012 on which is when i first started filling these meds.

@aeva they still treat them weirdly and require calling in to get them filled, and there are often shortages, and those are inexcusable practices.
the best way i've found to get around this is scheduling refill appointments with my prescriber a week before i run out, calling the pharmacy to make sure they order the meds and fill as scheduled, and almost always calling the day they decide i can have life-saving meds again to make sure they actually fill

@dank I looked up the relevant law yesterday, and unfortunately I believe my pharmacy is in compliance with it. Psychiatrists can't prescribe 90 day supplies, but Psychiatrist can write three 30 day prescriptions in advance, and the pharmacy is not allowed to fill the written prescriptions before their start dates. So if you are consistently able to get your medication 3 days in advance, you're either consistently picking it up 3 days late or your psy or pharmacist is out of compliance.

@dank I would recommend not looking this particular gift horse in the mouth
