  When picking up my prescription at Safeway, the pharmacist said I should wait until the next day to start taking the medicine. No explanation or anything of why. The instructions on the medicine clearly state "Unless otherwise directed by your physician, all six tablets in the row labeled 1st day should be taken the day you receive your prescription, even though you may not receive it until late in the day. All six tablets may be taken as a single dose, or may be divided into two or three doses and taken at intervals between the time you receive the medicine and your regular bedtime." So basically, the pharmacist provided a recommendation that is inconsistent with both the doctor's instructions and the medicine instructions without explanation. I consider this to be nothing short of malpractice. I tried calling the pharmicist to get an explanation, was put on hold three times, then she rudely cut me off when I was reading the instructions to her to get an explanation. She basically said I don't need to read the instructions to her, she knew better than the doctors or instructions, that I wouldn't be able to sleep, called me a bad name, and then hung up on me. I did call the number at the bottom of the official website based on the recommendation in the reply. They had a hard time identifying the store (#2734 at 10020 NE 137TH ST, Kirkland WA), but figured it out after about 5 minutes. Since they seemed to be struggling with how to handle the call, I can be contacted at the phone number associated with RX order #2314282. I probably should also mention that they supposedly didn't get the prescriptions the first time the doctor sent them, got one out of 3 the second time (1.5 hour wait at pharmacy after surgery), then the doctor had to resend the order again and I returned later to pick up the second one. Then this morning they called saying the third one was ready (which was supposed to just be for immediately after surgery) and that they were working on the filling the first one that I picked up yesterday and I had to tell them that order (for a controlled substance) was already filled. So it's safe to say that even without the pharmacist issue, I still would not be pleased or impressed with the overall experience.

  This is the only pharmacy that I've found that will talk to you with questions. And they've helped out multiple times with urgent medication fills.
