... a week later. The pharmacist wanted me to double up and I told him I couldnt due to custody court issues. I thought it was weird and never returned them. Now he is refusing to fill any of my scripts. This happen to anyone?
Can a pharmacist ask for medication back after filled? Was taking klonopin 1mg doc raised it to 2mg?

Hi Stusha24,
That seems outrageous to me!! I've never heard of this happening.
Please report this pharmacist to your doc, or the AMA...
Wait for some more opinions on this, because this pharmacist should have her/his licence taken away!!!
Could you add more details to your question? Is there more to this story?
Not accusing you of anything, just wondering about this pharmacist!!!
Best wishes

Your first post left a hazy picture, but the follow-up clarified it. Unless I'm confused, it appears that the pharmacist extended you a courtesy, by filling the second prescription just a few days after the first one. He was trusting you to return the first prescription, as you are not supposed to have both. He could have simply refused to fill the second script until you brought back the first one, but he did you a huge favor - that indicated trust. Since you did not return the first prescription, it's quite understandable that he would object. Benzo drugs are serious business. If a pharmacist has entrusted a patient with more than his/her doctor prescribed, his reputation and licensing is on the line. Klonopin is a common drug of abuse, and any pharmacist is on high alert for signs of abuse. This situation indicated a problem for him. I don't think he was out of line in his response.
I don't understand. It's a completely different mg. Won't my doctor just tell me to double up then if I'm not suppose to have both. My lawyer said I didnt have to return them since they have already been bought and are on a list of meds I was taking that I may to show to judge or lawyer. He can refuse to fill my script.
It was my first script on any benzodiazepine

Question about taking Klonopin?
I used to be taking 1mg bid klonopin, once when I woke up, once before bed, worked great. I got off it for a while and moved home from out of state ...

Not really got the 1mg filled wed the 19th of October called my doc on the following Monday saying I need a higher mg. They called it in for me and I went to pick it up. The pharmacist said just double up on the ones I have and I told I couldn't bc I'm going through a nasty custody case. I don't want my ex saying I was abusing my meds and I told him that. He asked if I had them on me I said no bc all my meds are in a safe at my house. (we got robbed a year ago and meds were taken) I said maybe if I had the time to run out again I have a 3 month old and just moved back in with my parents. He filled the 2mg and told me he would be there till 9pm. He told me he wanted to destroy them. So I forgot until my sister went to fill a script for percocet got 2 wisdom teeth pulled. He proceeds to tell her he won't fill it bc I never brought back the meds. I'm thinking and asking this seems kinda weird. Just wondering if this sounded shady bc I or no one i have asked every heard of anyone doing this. I could understand with a C2 drug but not with klonopin.
It sounds shady indeed. Wait for other opinions, perhaps I am wrong, I've been wrong several times in my life (OK, many many times, lol )!!
Just seems odd, did you ever return them? I'm sorry I cannot view your comment right now, I can only see my answer to your question.
Very shady indeed! He was not going to distroy them, probably resell them. Go to CVS drug store . They have good pharmatist! Just my personal pinion. Legally they cannot take back a prescription after you have handled it> DEA rules & regs. ... Oh & you could have & can still can just take 2 of them til they are gone & then start the new 2 mg. ones. Mary
