Mole Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I get my medication fortnightly;I don't know why, but they always seem a bit hostile.They put it in a big paper bag - which i instantly rip open and put the boxes of tabs in various pockets.

kib0ne Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Do you think there's a relationship between their job and the hostility you perceive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedavid08 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I doubt they're hostile, probably just pissed off that they've done a 4 year degree in one of the most advanced areas of medicine and spend their 9-5 lives in a poxy pharmacy counting tablets and putting sticky labels on boxes. Depends as well what you're picking up too, whenever I pick up a 3 month script for clonazepam = 468 .5mg tablets I always get a funny look. It's a shame I need them haha, Clonazepam's got a street value of £3 a tab - 468 x £3 = £1,404 haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisable Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 can you go to a different pharmacist, there is a few next to each other where I live and I always go to one particular one as they are a bit nicer to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkiegal73 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I hate my local pharmacist with a passion and now take a bus ride to use a different one. When I first came out of hospital my gp would only prescribe me 7 effexor at a time, but I couldn't afford a weekly prescription. He arranged with the relief pharmacist for me to go in every week and collect 7 pills from one monthly prescription so i'd only have to pay once. When i went in the pharmacist shouted at me in front of the whole shop that the prescription was wrong and my gp shouldn't have arranged it. Like that was my fault? I ran off crying and went without pills for a while. He must have realised that i was only allowed it weekly because i was suicidal yet he made me feel like crap. Unfortunately he still had my prescription and i had to go back there for the remainder of the month. He tutted and sighed loudly whenever i went in. I've had some lovely dreams of putting a brick through his window. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripper Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 My pharmacist has always been pleasant to me, but they have stuffed up lots of times on my prescriptions and have let me walk out with more than one pack or a 100 pack of paracetamol (I am blister packed weekly). I am like mole... I get mine in a paper bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
