I had a pharmacist tell me she would not continue to fill a pain medication because she felt I needed to be on long-acting pain medication, vs short-acting. I asked her to fill it as the doctor ordered, but she said she would only do that one more month, then she would refuse. I had the back/forth, just as you did about her not being my doctor and not having the right to intervene in my medical care. I ended up moving my prescription services to another pharmacy. I did tell the manager why (who has known me for years) and she was upset at my decision...but understood. It was not the first time the pharmacist tried to change a medication...the other was a heart medication that she felt needed to be something different.

Insurance companies constantly think they are your doctor...mandating what you can and cannot take, regardless of what your doctor orders. Now it's the pharmacists. Thankfully, they are not all like this...actually it is a rare occurrence. Move to another pharmacy or talk to the manager...or both.
