When I went to get it refilled, they tried to make me change the scrip. The doctor's office contacted them and told them to fill as ordered. They said it would be in in a couple of days. Then they told my son they could not get that medication at all. I'm pretty sure they didn't notify him of that until he called and specifically asked after he waited a couple of days as they said. Oddly they had it 30 days previously when I first filled it at that location. Other locations can still get it. The upshot is that by the time I wrested the scrip away from CVS and got it filled elsewhere with no problem - which I have been doing for over 30 years on a regular basis at a wide variety of pharmacies all over the country - I had been out of my thyroid medication for 10 days. Also please note, it is SPECIFICALLY illegal for a pharmacy to substitute one thyroid med for another, even if the only difference is the brand - and this was not JUST a brand difference. They wanted to switch me to a thyroid med that had a totally different formulation and would NOT have treated my condition adequately. And one, I might add, that I had been tried on before and was dropped because it was not adequate to treat my condition. But of course the pharmacist who did this is not a doctor and does not have access to my medical records which is why HE/SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE TRIED TO FORCE A CHANGE IN MEDICATION. The fact that they tried to slide this through the backdoor by trying to get me to get my doctor to change the med doesn't make it any better than a flat-out substitution. Then they lied about availability. This caused me to have an Addisonian relapse. Addison's disease is a very serious condition. An Addisonian crisis can be deadly. Its almost 2 months later now and I STILL have not recovered. When thyroid goes low it pulls cortisol low, which leads to an Addisonian flare-up or relapse or whatever you want to call it, which can then lead to full-on crisis. And I am not out of the woods yet on this. Whoever ordered this over there is a complete jackass. You don't muck around with people's meds. Pharmacists are NOT DOCTORS. YOU do not decide what medicines I should be taking. You know NOTHING about my health other than via whatever meds I fill there, and then you are assuming that I never fill any of my scrips anywhere else. I can guarandamntee you, I will never again fill a scrip at this or ANY OTHER CVS. And since I had been getting my hydrocortisone there for the Addison's, if the pharmacist responsible for this travesty had bothered to check, or if he WERE actually a Real Doctor and specifically an Endocrinologist, he would have known mucking around with my thyroid meds is dangerous. But whoever did this is NOT a real doctor, let alone an endocrinologist, so they endangered my health solely for the sake of their ego. I will reiterate - pharmacists are NOT DOCTORS. I don't give a tinker's damn what the medication du jour is - or whatever your markup is higher on. I'm on a very rigid schedule of medications because I have a complicated interaction between the Addison's and the hypothyroid condition plus T2 diabetes, and the first 2 of those are autoimmune related. You don't screw with my medication for any reason. So bite me, CVS pharmacist. You should be glad I'm not telling you this to your face, you colossal jackass and incompetent moron. You are practicing medicine without a license. But you haven't managed to kill me yet through your incompetence and ego, and you won't get another chance.

The pharmacy seemed to be the most staffed part of the store, there were more behind the counter than any place else in the store. That's partly because of all the unmanned self-checkout kiosks in the front, somewhat crowded with a lot of other displays, service counters, and devices, many of which had "out of order" signs on them. The dark colored carpet and the dim lights add to the dreariness.
