I dropped off a valid Rx from my Md to a local pharmacy. The original Rx has three refills. As I recently moved i went online as i have so often in the past to fill a valid refill and trans f it to a location closer to me. I received a conf. email that the Rx was in fact ready for pickup at the new location. Upon arrival, I was denied as they said I have already transferred this Rx in the past and refused to fill it. I went back to the orig location and they also refused to fill it and said it has to be filled where i transferred it. Now the pharmacy where it sits is closed and the 24 hour location with the valid orig Rx refuses to fill it. I am being bounced back and forth and can not get either location to fill my Rx. I am not early and the Rx is valid as well as its refills. I understand the DEA laws regarding transfers, however the online system allowed the transfer and did not alert me that it would not be filled if transferred. Once i learned this i tried to CXL the refill online which would allow me to return to the orig location for a refill. The system would not allow it either. Now I am being told that i have to have my MD write an entirely new script. This cant be right and i can not afford another doctor visit. Why should i have to do this and how is this just in the first place.

I think if you call your doctor he will have his nurse call them and straighten this out.  you should not make you have to see your doctor again.  they will call the drug store you need it to go to.  hope this works. mandy876

As BluCrystal stated, the prescribing physician should not have a problem with re-writing the script. In general pharmacies do not permit call in prescriptions for opiates, so it will probably have to be picked up. These pharmacists can really give trouble. At Rite-Aid I showed up with a terrible lung infection and an antibiotic prescription. Unfortunately, for some reason the physician had written last year instead of this year when he wrote the date. Instead of bringing this to my attention the pharmacist used a magic marker to write "INVALID" in large block letters on the prescription and circled the date! Naturally I could not get it filled at another pharmacy. At that point my PTSD kicked in. Fortunately I was able to contact the physician who called it in to Wal-Mart.

You should simply have to call your prescribing doctor and have him call in the script to to pharmacy of your choice.  This should not be a problem bc he already prescribed it, and the script didnt get filled.
