I have to get this off of my chest. My doctor started me on adderall 10mg 2 times a day two months ago. I go to get my third script today and decided that I didn't need to count them right away, afterall, they havn't messed up a script in the last 8 years I had been filling them there. Well I counted them but several hours after I got home(I will always count them in the parking lot of the pharmacy from now on) and this time they shorted me five and I decided to call the pharmacy. I thought they would simply be able to count their stock and realize that there were five more there than supposed to be. Well, they said that that wouldn't work for whatever reason. I talked to them with upmost caution and courtesy(knowing that many people might do this to scam the pharmacy)letting them know the best that I could that I didn't want them unless they could verify it. They told me that the pharmacist that filled them wouldn't be in until tomorrow and I would have to talk to him to see if he remembers anything or something. Sorry this is so long winded, probably an indication of my anxiety that I could have avoided just by letting the missing five go. You see, now I am afraid that by being so overally friendly and cautious about this that I have raised the pharmacy's eyebrows and they might call my doctor, this would be the worst. Also, the other pharmacist might call my house and inadvertently make significant others aware that I am taking this medication of which they are strongly against(they think that this practice by doctors is wrong). Maybe he won't call at all and this leaves me to question wether I should leave it alone at that point or not. If I do, will he call my house or my doctor at a later point? I am just kind of nervous about all this. Any comments, suggestions, reassurances, or anti-reassurances welcome.
Also, how do I let my doctor know that 10mg twice a day is not strong enough without any drug seeking stigma attached?
Thnaks much for any input,
Rob
