@Mountaindewed, I would be concerned and uncomfortable after seeing such a Facebook page, too.

@Moose72, I'm sorry to read that you are so unwell to the point of hospitalization, or near hospitalization. Sending well wishes.

@WindsThatBlow and @Sapien, I hear you on the frustrations of pharmacies. When I lived in the US, no other places drove me nuts more than there. Medications are often so darned expensive in the US that I think they should be providing 1st class service to all Americans, and yet they often don't. And I really think there are many in pharmacies that stigmatize the mentally ill. I experienced such stigma on more than a few occasions.

I've been so busy today, up until now. Tons of laundry, made a homemade beef goulash, cleaned up the kitchen and bedroom, and filled two weeks PLUS of both my medication boxes and my husband's. Our medications are becoming so extremely complex, nowadays. So many need to be split with the pill cutter. The general practitioner we have is scatterbrained, so even when Hubby talks to him, the GP always forgets to submit at least one of the medications for refills than he should. We're thinking about finding a new general practitioner. Plus, he's hardly ever at his office. He's an older man. Perhaps he should just retire already. As for filling the boxes for two weeks, I started doing that because it seemed like each week flew by too rapidly, but so does the two weeks. I even put aside an extra morning and evening dose for both Hubby and myself so that we have extra days of meds for our trip. I don't want to use too many up before we go.
