I know I shouldn’t do this, but I tell the pdoc I’m taking more of my pills than I actually take just so I can stockpile.

I cannot stand having barely enough pills. I lost half a bottle once (I split my gabapentin between my purse and home cabinet) and my pdoc refused to call in anymore for me. She said I would just have to take less and stretch them out until time for a refill.

That p*ssed me off. So I started telling her I needed more, until she finally increase the prescription.

So I have leeway as to when to call for a refill.

As for klonopin, if you run out, you can have a seizure. At least that’s what the pharmacist told me when my mom ran out. She gave me three pills and told me to come back Monday for the rest after her pdoc could be contacted. She also told me to take her to the emergency room if she ever ran out if it couldn’t be refilled.

So this two - three day situation is really ridiculous. My pharmacy runs out of medications, it is so poorly managed. My area is overrun with new construction and the pharmacy cannot handle it.
