ranting on pharmacies

[shortieblatt]

I am so upset right now. This month I have had some major pain with the bc pill the doc has me on and have been spotting for over a week. So I grapped my bc pill container cause I never remember how to spell it and was going to look up the side effects so I could make sure I didnt need to call my doc. Well I looked at it and it just didnt look right. It looked like the pill my doc had me on first. So I typed it in to google to google the side effects and it is the first pill my doc had me on. I didnt know that when you call a prescribation in and use the number on it that you truly need to make sure it is the right pill to begin with. So I am going there tomorrow and get the right pills so I can get back to not having pain.
Yeah maybe I am crazy and just me being young by thinking you didnt need to check your pills before you leave. I have been on a lot of meds growing up and I have never had this problem before. I am so mad I have been in pain d/t some pharmacy tech and pharmacist filled the wrong script. And me being young and just not thinking I needed to check it I have been in so major pain. I will not make that mistake again.

I've had pharmacies switch out a brand name with a generic BC pill without telling me, and when I complained after I got home, they said they couldn't do anything about it since I already brought it home and it was the 'same' pill as before. But, turns out it wasn't the same thing and within two months, I was back to my doc to switch because I noticed different side effects from the generic.

Seriously, go to planned parenthood so you can get your BC for free!

I switched pharmaciesa because they were so bad. kept giving me the wrong meds... took forever to fill them. And the one time my daughter coulnd't get hers and they said they had to call the doctor, turns out they had the wrong name. there were two people with the same name and they didn't even check the thing first. So we go to this little small pharmacy now where they never get it wrong, they know us by first name, and they are always ready when we go even if they had to transfer them from somewhere else!

yeah i normally dont have a problem but they had to transfer it to another pharmacy cause it was going to take them 3 days to get it and i needed it cause i was out plus it was a new script... i have to have my hubby call my doc on monday well i am at school to get my script done again and i am going to have him ask about anywhere to get my pills for free since we have no insurance and not much money. we leave in a small town and everyone knows my hubby and still learning me but they are getting to the point they know me by first name.
