I am currently on Ritalin 10 mg 4 x daily. and Doxepin 25 mg 1 x nightly. Unfortunately I have to take a 2 week long vacation and need it early, the date to refill the medication is during my vacation. The doctor gave me three seperate prescriptions, the 1st to fill that day, the 2nd (30) days from the original date and the 3rd script (60) days from original date. also on the prescription it says "disp. on july 31st " which is 10 days away (tomorrow)and exactly 30 days from the last script I got filled. I understand Ritalin is a schedule II narcotic, but is there any chance ANY pharmacy will fill it any earlier ? possibly even tomorrow or the day after?
Oh yea By the way taking the script to the state I am going to won't help due to the out of state Schedule II prescription laws.

I seriously doubt any pharmacy will fill prior to that fill date. It is illegal for them to do so, however, your best approach is to notify the prescribing physician and let him know you are leaving town and ask if you can have an early fill before you go since you will be unable to refill the one you have out of state. You will need to relinquish the one you have to him and he will need to write a new one with the earlier date. You can reassure him that you know he expects the meds to last as if you hadnt filled early. That will be the only way to get this med filled prior to the date written on the script.
