Percocet issue?

[ahrii]

My medicine (Percocet-the lowest dose 5/325)seems to have gone "missing" during visits of my building repairmen due to recent AC leaking down from my ceiling apartment. I am a week away (the 7th of Sept) to get my refill so this leaves me with sleepless nights and agony. I called my Doctor who through an MA said she was reluctant but would fill it on the 30th. This is still too early because I checked ahead of time with Rite Aid of which I am a regular and they know I do not just go "seeking" I've been with them well over two years. So, my pharmacy will not fill my script a week early. I called the Doctor's back and they will "look" at my chart. I'm willing to pee in a cup, show them my, bottle....I've been stressed and sleepless.  Anyone have advice????

Call the police and make a report.

The pharmacist should fill it as long as the doctor says it's okay.  The insurance most likely won't pay it and you'll probably have to pay cash.  I was told that our pain management group will not write new scripts if meds are lost or stolen.  Everyone is so paranoid about the DEA that they won't take any chances.  It's the patients' responsibility to make sure their medications are secured.  One of my neighbors had their house broken into while they were out for an early bird dinner.  The doctor would not them even though they filed a police report.  The supposed reason was that though their house was locked, the alarm hadn't been set.  I didn't think that was fair.  (And we live in a quiet neighborhood and everyone knows each other.  I never lock our doors.)  Good luck.
