@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.

[dank@jorts.horse]

@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

[dank@jorts.horse]

@aeva i have terminal engineer brain so this makes me wonder if the qualification of the prescriber in some way changes the fill conditions. my prescriber is a DO and my PCP, so maybe that somehow changes it??

this is a permanent problem with schedule 2, every filler seems to make their own decisions and i've heard twelve different policies between the half dozen pharmacies i've gone to over the last 14 years.

@dank rather than speculate you can read it yourself if you want https://ilga.gov/Documents/legislation/ilcs/documents/072005700K312.htm
