Need Your Help! Regarding Postdated Scripts And Refill, Thank You!!!!

Hey everyone....
For most of you who know me, you know my doc has had a death in his immediated family, and I will not be able to contact him, let me try to put this out for all of you as best I can.

When I went last month my doc gave me Two post dated scripts for my LA and SA hydro. I called him 3 days ago and told him that he had dated them all for the 5th of the month with for the next two months, and that doesnt gove me the week for the mail, compounding, ect. I even offered to send the original scripts back to him and have him send me others... He told me to have the pharmacy call him, and he will make sure they fill it and have it to me by the day before i am to run out.

Keep in mind that this amount of meds he gave me isnt even touching what I need, but I have to choice, because they are running out and I need SOME sort of refills. I have no idea what I am even getting Monday that he sent to bump up the adjustment I needed.
I called the chain who has been doing my compounding and they said NO. We only fill on the date on the script.

The other pharmacist who i didnt want to go back to I called, said "I know its illegal, but a couple of days, isnt a big deal. Ill do it." I also need to have my meds in my hand by the 1st of July at the LATEST. I dont trust them at all. [the pharmacist] thats the one who tried to throw me under the bus, and said "oh he said he was going to wean you off., we couldnt find anything to work for you." yeah right.

The 4th is on a friday. My script is dated the 5th, i believe. Add in my traveling and the holiday, I need my meds by the 1st at the LATEST. Add in we have NO saturday delivery of fed ex or UPS, and if they dont get here Im screwed.
And now with all of this drama, i feel like Im going to get leftin the lurch with no meds and the weekend without. and thats ONLY only if they can get ahold of him in the midst of all of this.
Has ANYone ever heard of a pharmacy filling a Sched II drug BEFORE the date on the script? My doc says they will do it IF they call him and talk to him.
Any advice is appreciated, as always. Im so ready for normalcy. I am at the end of my rope. I know, I need to find another doc or figure something out, but I am absolutely just getting by the skin of my toenails...
I do have 3 referals from golf friend for a surgeons to interview. When I told my doc Friday morning I wanted to wait until The fall, he told me I needed to get busy and start interviewing. I know I biding time.

Hey Izzy the hydro is S-III so they should not have any problems at all - and no I have never heard of anyone dispensing a S-II early - all S-II are supposed to be dispensed exactly as written and if there is a mistake they can not verbal or fax instructions to change anything -
This is the kind of junk I hate, I can go get every other medicine early but when it comes to drugs for my cp it is all suspicion and

Aver....The Hydro is the same as Oxycontin. Once you take out ANY filler, binders, ect. it gets moved up. It is a sched II, ive been filling this same script for almost a year now. Im really angry that my doc is putting me in the position with a friggin chain pharmacy, They are NOT going to do ANYthing illegal. Mark my words.
Thanks for the post~
Also Aver...your post got cut off early! Can you post the rest?
xoxoxo,

Wow learn something new everday - sorry, I know we all have to go through circles when it comes to vacation and everyone wants to be the pharmacy police expecially the pharm techs here - Good Luck - hope it gets resolved -
Hugs Aver
My earlier post was about my same old soap box of getting recognition that chronic pain is very real, very debilitating, and not treated with the same goals as other illness - no one worries that I will be on heart medicine, diabetes medicine for the rest of my life (Just the same as addiction) AND when I go on vacation I need all of these - sometimes I will need extra diabetes medicine and pain medicine due to different activity level - one is no problem and the other OMG - the pharmacy flips out everytime
