All the time at the one pharmacy. They never have anything in stock. I usually go in a few days before my prescription runs out and they always always have to order it specially. Sometimes that can take up to a week and a half or so- and thats after badgering them- which I hate to do. There are often other problems as well too- which they wnt tell me about until Im finally there after a week and a hapf of waiting- which can mean a few additional days of waiting. Its like they wanted to make it as painful as possible. It was like every separate time I went in there would be a new problem. It was ridiculous and would eventually require me going and having to beg for pills in different dosages just to tide me over for a couple of days- and then a couple more days- and then a couple more days. I hated it. I hated having to beg. I felt like a drug seeker. It was only made worse by the one pharmacist who worked at the place (who after the first time I went out of my way to avoid) who asked me what I needed the pills for. I told her bipolar and she rolled her eyes- seriously- and told me that “I could wait, Id ‘probably’ be fine”. Im not that sensitive to that sort of thing but Im kinda ashamed of my mental illness anyways, always feel like I “should be able to just control my emotions” and she was really loud about it and dismissive and it was just- I dont know. It made me feel bad about myself and like maybe I didnt really need the medication and that it was all just a joke. That my illness was a joke.

Anyways. Went out of my way to avoid her while waiting for THAT prescription to come in. But that pharmacy was just an unpleasant experience in general.

After a few months of that I switched to the bigger pharmacy slightly farther away. No problems there. Usually had my prescription in stock and when they dont it takes a day or 2 max for it to come in. So much better.
