Rant on CVS Pharmacy
Basically I've been on 15mg dextroamphetamine-amphetamine 3x day for about 2 years for my debilitating ADHD. It works very well for me I just have two alarms. All of the sudden the pharmacy prepared amphetamine salts combo, which I have tried in the past and doesn't help my symptoms nearly as much. Dextro already takes a long time to kick in, so added salts does not absorb well at all.
I call them of course, telling them my prescriber sends my Rx with a note to supply dextro specifically. The tech gives me issues saying it's the same thing, that it's just another generic, and also they only get what the suppliers send them. Essentially ontop of my prescribers long ass wait to get this renewed, I would often have to request them to special order the Rx. This goes around and around, I just tell her I'll switch pharmacies and hang up (bc I'm pissed off lol). She calls me AGAIN, to let me know in January this is what I got, the system just labelled it dextroamphetamine so I didn't notice. So in her mind, that means I am bullshitting her and being petty or something.
Little did she know January was a terrible month for me, and I just thought I have built a tolerance. It was so bad I had my dr prescribe something else for me temporarily!
Not sure what I can do, my prescription insurance is through the bs CVS Caremark, so if i want it covered I have to go through them.
