Do you mean you're trying to get the script filled as brand name now? Was it written as "DAW"? I had a CVS mistakenly fill mine with generic once, but I noticed it before I left the store (since the copay was lower than expected), which was helpful. They apologized for the mistake, since it was written in a different state, they weren't used to seeing the DAW in an unusual spot.
They didn't carry the brand name, but called around to all the local pharmacies and found one in the next town over that carried it. I gave them back the bottle of generic. They gave me back the paper script, and told the other pharmacy I was coming.
If your script wasn't specified as brand name, you won't be able to go back now, after leaving the store, and expect them to switch it. You could call you doctor and ask for another script if need be. That's the only way to fix that problem. None of this can be done via phone. I used to work as a pharm tech. No matter what, they just can't take doctor's orders by phone or fax for controlled drugs.
Didn't you say your doctor agreed to give you regular Xanax if the XR wasn't helping?
