Honestly impressive how pharmacies are able to find a new type of problem every time I go to pick up my meds

You forgot the pharmacist who thinks they know more than your doctor and has the gall to opine on your prescription.
Dude.
MDs fuck up prescriptions all the time. You want this.
Yeah pharmacists often know a lot more about drugs than doctors, and they get to focus their whole career on getting good at just that
But thats like their main point. Pharmacist do know a lot about drugs. It's important to know about negative drug interactions and a pharmacist is more likely to catch it since they most likely know all the drugs you are taking. Your GP might not know about the drugs your psychiatrist gave you or that off-label drug your dermatologist gave you because people are horrible at knowing what drugs they are on and for what purpose.
Fair enough. All I really mean is "idgaf some random pharmacist is opposed to stimulants."
Honestly I've always been surprised how much education is required to be a pharmacist when all they do is put pills into a bottle (obeying whatever the doctor wrote on your prescription) and pass it to you through the window. Then imagine going through all the years of University to get a master's degree to work in the back of a CVS.
Seriously? They source the drugs, in the correct dosage, or they have to compound a drug, they have to know what other drugs you are on for conflicts that could kill you. They also teach you how to take the drugs correctly.
Why do people who have no fucking clue make comments?
As an outsider to the field it seems ridiculuous that being a doctor does not include this bit of knowledge. If a pharmacist is expected to do all this and able to override an MD (who can get the prescription wrong).. seems like a circus to me.
A pharmacist is much more qualified to give you that information than a fucking Doctor. The pharmacist instructions are for the exact drug in you hand, when you get the drug.
There are a lot of bad prescriptions to be honest. The amount of people who are prescribed both Adderall and large fills of benzos is too damn high.
don't forget all those opiods the MDs told us were non-addictive.
And the pharmacists helped that... How? Exactly?
That was a shame. Because now we have gone the opposite direction and they are massively under prescribed to who need it.
They aren't even that addictive. Look up addiction rates for people prescribed them legitimately. But saying they were non addictive is obviously fucked up... Pharma reps were literally gaslighting doctors into thinking that they just weren't prescribing enough and that's why their patients were having pain, after 12 hours. Definitely not withdrawal symptoms
