I talked to my very wonderful rsd neuro (Dr Knobler) ex partner to dr S, about this.
He told me if it's a chain store, (Wrong Aid, Walgreens etc.) and you'd be surprised, how many chains Wrong (RITE AID) actually owns. It ALL depends on the store's manager!
Some are terrible, some will respond when you have a problem. But, never stop with the pharmacist, they're only a link in the chain. The Manager, is who you must see, and if you don't get action after that, it's time to look elsewhere.
I used a local pharmacy who had 6 stores, then, got in trouble when one of the main pharmacists was arrested for selling pain narcotics! AGH! I hadto go for a while without my methadone! Nobody would tell me the truth, until someone showed me a local rag, with the police log in it.
Then Wrong (Rite Aid) bought them out.
Ouch!
Ouch!

Lord, these people fouled my methadone up, every month! I constantly felt as though I was 'titrating down'.

Then, in my mail comes a little flyer, from a new local drug store, in WALKING DISTANCE! Yea! I can even get there in the rain! (Next door in a little strip mall to my Butcher, Barber, and la la la).
This is a One Man show! He gave his local school history, all catholic schools, that I live nearby. He's set his store up, so that he sells NOTHING, that kids might want. Candy, Soda, like that. Minor supply of toiletries. No kids in there after school!
He gets the pharmacy job done! Even delivers!

This is what I love, since I was a small business person myself. Keeping the Money in the Neighborhood! It's hugely important!
I'd rather make a couple excellent service people wealthy, than spreading it all over share-holders around the world.

So, I've switched to this place, first time I gave him a written script, and twice other, He transferred from Wrong Aid. Both ready immediately. (I do believe he had to get the methadone in, but he has promised me, he will have it every month for me).

I'll see!
If it turns out badly, I'll be sure to let you know. But this Gentleman pharmacist, recognizes my voice or caller ID when i call. That's good for me!
