I take a controlled med to help with PTSD. I get 28 days worth of pills (56) to take 2 pills a day. When am eligible for a refill?

I picked up my meds 16 July. July has 31 day. 16-31= 32 pills. 1 August- 9 August= 18 pills. 32+18=50. I have 7 pills left (I dropped one down my sink) so on August 12, I will be out of pills. I am a pick up only because my controlled pills have not come when I tried mail service. The pharmacist as Robert Dole VA told me to come back 16 August. Any suggestions?

If you call your local VAMC and talk directly to the one call’ nurse; they are able to address the issue and message your provider...you could also go to the ER in the VAMC. Certainly hope you get things straightened out before you run out...Nancy

Ooof. You may be out of luck until the 16th. Moving forward, I would recommend getting the refill ball rolling at least a week before you are out.

Maj Kim Patterson I struggle with the mail order pharmacy also.
I do not like telephone calls with ‘vendors’. Nevertheless, after 6 months of struggles, one of my meds is finally on 90 day prescription and refills. I read all of their denial and other confusing
letters, put my ear piece on and patiently call them and await a live person.
Being a prudent customer, I used to be moderate in asking for refills, after negative - rush -rush experiences, I try to maintain enough meds in the cabinet to cover me in case of more screwy demand - inform - challenge letters from that pharmacy.
