Guess who left their card at outback in cumming?! And guess who just got home from driving there, and back again 🤣. On a positive note, I went to cumming, and back, in under 2 hours. For those who don't know, that's impressive timing 👀😁

Wat? Of course you can change pharmacies, including for scheduled substances. What if you moved across town, or to a new town? Probably what he was saying is that if the prescription is at Pharmacy A, you can’t pick it up at Pharmacy B.

The next time your doctor renews your script, have him/her call it in (or fax, or whatever) to a different pharmacy. If you can find one you don’t hate.

We have a local, small owner pharmacy. It's wonderful, and so is she. Occasionally there's something she doesn't carry and we have to go to Walmart or somewhere, but usually it's no problem.

tl;dr
in TN with controlled substances, you can't "transfer" from one pharmacy to another
all the doc has to do (as Exie said) is place the script with another pharmacy
you don't even need to tell the old pharmacy (nor does the doctor) because the database keeps track of the last one to fill it
we went back to paper scripts on all the controlled substances for my wife and I because it gives us more flexibility in terms of where we want to get it filled
I just wish they'd do those more than 30 days at a time

Edit: to clarify, the doctor gives us paper scripts for three months...3 pieces of paper for each medication....but the med refills are only for 30 days

we used to use the small pharmacy with only the one branch
but we ran into issues getting my wife's pain meds filled when they decide to take off like 3 days at Memorial Day
and there's not a lot of flexibility on some of those meds
now we use Ingle's....by far the least nonsense and foolishness in terms of med pickups

My own tl;dr:

Two of my three kids are ADHD and were on amphetamine derivatives from around fifth grade on. Like other controlled drugs, the scripts have to be renewed monthly.

So:

Two kids, each ADHD, each have to notice when they’re down to 7-8 pills.

Then they each have to remember to tell me.

Then I (also ADHD) have to remember to call the doctor to ask that she call it in for each.

Then I have to remember to go pick each prescription up.

When 80% of your thinking is spent on just getting Life done, it makes things complicated.

Yeah, my wife's pain management plan keeps us counting down from 30 days.
I bought like a five dollar planner (3-year) for nothing but scripts.
We keep up with mom and dad's, too.
It really is a time hog as we age hahahaha

They have Tiffany on pain management, and it's weird to me. They want it in your system, check that you get it filled. She only takes when she has to, but it's gotta be in her system if they check.

dude in rural Appalachia, there were TONS of people doing it
I'd say it's everywhere
20 years ago at school kids were crushing Lortabs and snorting them through a hollow Bic pen
then it was crushing Adderall
now I think the biggest issue we have is synthetic THC
