Would it be bad if I transferred my last 2 refills back to Target so I can try and get my refills? Is that possible?? Too many raised eyebrows?

With narcotics this is a HUGE NO NO. Please pick a pharmacy where you know you are going to go back to get your other two refills. Most of the time when you try to transfer refills on a narcotic prescription, the pharmacist will cancel the refills and require that the physician write a new script.

Thanks so much for your reply!

No, I did not transfer this to Walmart, I took it there first so I have never transferred it. I was just trying to see which pharmacy would be best in the long run. I obviously made a mistake choosing Walmart with their maillies and more stringent refill Rules.

Is it possible to transfer an out of state script that has already been filled once? Do you think Walmart will tell Target not to let me have it until the 30th day? What about Costco? They are actually closest to me but I have never filled a script there because I am not a member. How strict are they on refill days, do you know? TARGET was a breeze, 25 day refill was fine, no questions required. (My new Rx was with the OCS's new doctor and I wondered if having 2 dif out of state doctors would raise eyebrows or raise questions). That is another reason I went to Walmart. My hubby needs blood pressure meds refilled so maybe I could transfer both at same time??

Will it help to talk to the actual pharmacist at Walmart and not a tech? I know some pharmacists can be power mad jerks. I could also mention I prefer the 'yellow' ones that they do not carry since the white ones have a filler that seems to irritate my tummy. Too much info?

I am throwing out ideas here. If anyone can offer suggestions or experience here, I would much appreciate it!
Can a FL script be transferred once? HELP!!

Angie,

I was just reporting what one Direct Script Doctor advised on the VIP side. I have no personal experience with this. However, given the already "gray area" of the FL Rx, I personally would be reluctant to talk to the pharmacy.

I'd suggest contacting the service that you used Monday morning and asking their advice.

Good luck,

patient2all

But is it worth transferring once, esp after what patient2all said, that I might lose my refills?

It is totally up the pharmacist---that we will get a local pharmacist who will think it's "for our own good".

Kansas also specifically states that no refills need to be honored earlier than 30 days if that is what original RX was for:

I'm sure you probably realize this, but don't transfer RX from KS to another state. Legally, you can transfer the RX in Kansas as long as it is not Sch 2. (It isn't, it is Sched 3)

Good luck and my sympathies again to you.
