1st thanks to pandora for the idea

Okay I get scripted 60 40 Tevas w/ 45 15 roxi IR

They're of course, gone.

:( Had to go see a dentist got a root canal

I begin to chat him up for some 30s
Why yes I do have a PMD

End result my PMD tells him that I can run out early. Now tomorrow makes it 10 days til the rewrite.

Any thought, hints , tips , suggestions, or things that you think might br relevant?

Slow and steady wins the race.

When in doubt, wait it out.

Umm... Here today, gone tomorrow (definitely a double-entendre)

I'm babbling, sorry man. Someone is bound to shed some real light on this... if you're hurtin real bad, in the meantime, check out poppy pods online or seeds at your local bulk-foods store. It's a nigh bit better than running 10 miles in your "sleep". Good luck and best wishes!! :)

I'm of the understanding that they will fill 21 days into a 30-day script. Dunno if this helps you, but I think that's the general guideline.

Depends on the directions and more importantly your doctor. There is a doctor here that will not give refills until the day you are out of meds meaning you don't get your script until you have no more according to the days supply!!

My doctor will not refil unles it is the day I run out. I ran out early once and all he did was give me tramadol and told me if I run out early again he will red flag me so no doctor will help me with meds. Every doctor is different. I would make sure that this does not become a habit, you may get away once but on the second time get nailed and have them pull you from all your meds. Proceed with caution

i told my doc once i had a party and someone went thru my shit and stole my scripts, boom, instant refill with a strong warning to hide better or lock em' up as he won't do this all the time, but hey it worked once and i never tried again just to keep on his good side

Yes! Depends on both the Doc (how he writes the script) and the pharmacist on duty. Many Docs post date scripts now with terminology such as "do not fill until xyz date." If so, you have to wait it out. Otherwise, it may go through....Insurance may be an issue however. Pharmacies are real weary of those who will pay "cash" so be careful if you go that route.

Lastly, hope you don't get an overly harsh pharmacist. Some just will not re-fill until day 30 no matter what. Conversely, others will fill as fast and as much as they can in a day and just don't care as long as it goes through in their computer.

Good luck.

yeah Dr. _____ did postdate the 40s but came through w/ 90 of the 15s. I don't want to leave the impression that the keys to the candystore were handed over.

Considering that this doc knows my track record she was very cool. I just needed a nudge in one direction and Zodiac was the only answer by noon and sick and BLAH ad nauseum
