Once again I messed the pill count and didn’t renew my prescription in time sol I’ll be riding this coming week dry… thanks stupid US medical system.

UPDATE: I had to pay out of pocket. $120 because my doc didn’t fill some random paper so I could get the meds, but insurance won’t cover it. It takes 6 months to get an appointment with my doc. I saw him last week and he said he would send a refill, he did t. My pharmacy the requested after I called to check. No go. I called the nurse and asked — automated voicemail. I’m done. I’m done I’m done.

You get 30 pills every 30 days no more no less . You need to renew in time, you then have to wait for your doc to approve the refill then for your pharmacy to get them and fill the prescription. So until all that happens I will have to wait. You can’t refill early you need to do it right at the end.

What's that?

Also, your doctor doesn't do like a 3-month supply (3 x 1 month script fills on same script)?

Typo. 30 pills. And no. You get 30 pills to use within 30 days no more no less because it’s a controlled substance, stupid useless war on drugs (which really is just an excuse to be legally racist). So if you order too late and you have no other choice than to lapse a few days at some point. You can never catch up with a missed day and you can’t create a stock or reserve.

This reads strangely to me. I'm on a controlled substance, but I can still fill my rx a few days in advance of running out. And I've been on others before with the same deal. Are you sure you have to wait until the day you run out?
