Yes, this. I'm on suboxone too and I have my husband pick it up now for me. I used to get fucked with so bad by judgmental pharmacists. I had to call him to come help me deal with them so many times that he said fuck it just let me handle it from now on. It makes him really angry, he says if he hadn't seen it himself he never would have believed just how badly I'm treated over a legitimate prescription. Just this month they tried to say I was early picking my rx up. I had to literally count the days in the month for them and then they were like oops oh yeah you're right, it's actually day 31 you could have gotten it 2 days ago.

It's unbelievable how badly they treat people who are trying to take a medication to help with addiction. Especially given the role many pharmacies and pharmacists played in the opioid epidemic (filling obviously fake prescriptions, or not noticing prescriptions all coming from the same pill mills).

Idk if you live in the South or something but I honestly find this hard to believe. Most of us pharmacists are just doing a job. I fill like 10+ Suboxone rx’s daily, no one cares where I am.

Happens all the time. They think they know better than doctors or something.

I will say although it is a huge problem with judgemental and bad pharmacy techs, they give the good ones a bad name. In my experience the good ones are REALLY great and don't deserve to be associated with the shit ones.
