Pharmacist Amy told me that if she "had them" (my amphetamines for my ADHD) she "wouldn't be able to stop taking them" after I expressed that I am taking a break from them, then proceeded to tell me I can fill an old script of vyvanse early if I want to. This was triggering to me as I have an addiction to the medication and needed a break, but I couldnt stop thinking about it for 24 hours. I eventually went back to get that old script filled. The male pharmacist could only fill it for 10 days worth because they didnt have enough. I said that was fine. I quickly realized that I could not have the vyvanse without abusing them. I told my prescriber that and she decided to switch me to ritalin quickly to prevent any rebound ADHD symptoms and withdrawals. Amy (the pharmacist I first mentioned) refused to fill, assuming I slammed a whole 30 day bottle of vyvanse in 5 days, when really I had only taken 1 to 2 extra per day. My prescriber was really concerned about my ability to work and function without any ADHD medication but Amy said "you should have thought about that before you took them." She said I have to wait 15 days for the ritalin but even if I were to be on schedule, I should only have to wait 5 days from the time of writing this because my last fill was only for 10 days. I am now bed bound and unable to work. Thanks, Amy, for triggering the addiction I just told you about and then scolding and forcing me into withdrawals when I tried to do something about it. I will never use this pharmacy again.

We love this pharmacy and the team they have to assist us! They went out of their way to help us transfer scripts from out of state. My husband happened to get a Covid Vaccine because someone else had not shown and they dosage would have to be tossed.
They now know my husband by name and are always willing to take the time to address issues!
