Half the pharmacies in town are refusing to dispense my sister’s lisdexamfetamine prescription because she doesn’t have an existing “maintenance prescription” with that pharmacy.
They (presumably) don’t want any patients who receive only a controlled substance from them for fear of the DEA accusing them of being a pill mill.
What if someone doesn’t have any other prescriptions? Or they do but their regular pharmacy is out of stock? Every year it’s some new bullshit.

Well said! We figured it all came down to the membership aspect of the business, as well as their huge breadth of services offered. This results in them just wanting to get people in and out rather than fight customers over “trivial” transactions.
