Hello Steve my name is J, I’m a disabled person living in palm beach, Florida who’s having an impossible time obtaining my necessary medications. I’ve gone to the same neurologist/specialist for almost 15 years and he prescribes me (60) 10mg percocet, 500mg Depakote, 100mg Sumatriptan, and (30) 50mg Vyvance, and 40mg Prozac per month. I have no history of drug abuse, no questionable encounters, and the same meds for a decade+.
Although I still own my home in B R Florida, I just acquired a new home in L W (both in same County) and I have been unable to fill my prescriptions at any local pharmacy due to apparent high drug abuse activity in this city. I have changed my license to reflect the new local address, given a current & valid prescription, shown all insurance, Medicare, and disability documentation, and yet I’m still refused at CVS where I have filled the same script for 7 years (at the same Location), Walgreens, Publix, etc. I am treated like a fiend each place I attempt to fill.
When asked why I would be refused the medication they filled for me just a month ago, they said it was due to my license address not being within 3 miles of pharmacy…. I change my license next day, go back and I am told they won’t fill it because my Specialist is in the next county over. Even after explaining that he has me on long-term ongoing treatments, they refuse. When asked for an explanation, I was told they did not need a reason and they would call the cops if I didn’t leave the store immediately! How can this be legal??? Is this not discriminatory?
I have been off of my meds for 3 days now and feel lost as to what my options are. Please advise.
Thank you for your time & knowledge,
