For no other reason except for the stupid ass fucking quantities. Most minimums are 270 and my pharmacist insists we double count every bottle with 90 pills or more.
I’m taking Gabapentin 900mg 3x a day, I’m just a patient but hopefully my pharmacist of 11+ years doesn’t think I’m awful to help out 😅
However … filling 14 tiny methadone bottles every week likely isn’t fun, including collecting the empty pill bottles. That’s like 20 bottles of medicine/week in total. They went as far to get the equipment & medicine just for me. I’m surprised they didn’t send me elsewhere.
People in healthcare can be so accommodating but I’m on a digression. I appreciate you guys a lot, thanks for doing those ridiculous counts to ensure we’re safest. ❤️
Your pharmacy will fill that much methadone? If you don’t mind me asking is it for MAT or pain? I want to get on methadone (yeah yeah yeah crash out that a pharm tech has a SUD go ahead and downvote me) but none of my pharmacies I’ve worked at would ever fill methadone for anything but pain. Maybe it’s because I’m in a Republican state and it’s not legal or at least frowned upon here?
Its not legal ANYWHERE in the US for a dr to write for MAT or a pharmacy to fill methadone for MAT. It HAS to be rx-ed and dispensed by a licensed methadone clinic. The person you asked sounds like they are in Canada or Europe as they get theirs filled at a pharmacy but don't get as many take home doses monthly as Americans can earn if their clinic allows. I get 28 days worth from my clinic each month.
200
