I'm gonna hijack your advice thread for a minute here.

So I've lost my daily medication, (for ADHD, so it's a controlled substance), I knocked the bottle over one morning, and a majority of them fell into the furnace grate in my room. I tried to fish some of them out, but I haven't cleaned my grate out in a while and the ones I found were not exactly edible...
Problem is that this happened shortly before my most recent appointment with my doctor. The month before this I got a double renewal as to not pay two service fees for my prescription. This is the prescription I lost. I didn't mention losing my meds to my doctor because he was already writing a new script. (I guess he forgot he wrote a double script last month)
I figured "oh great, this works out perfectly!" but when I gave the script to the pharmacist I waited for a while before she mentioned that I should already have my meds and would put it on file for the next month. Me, being me. I panicked and said it was fine, I was just shopping which was why I was still there. (aka I'm an idiot)
I've waited like a week, and I'm pretty sure I can't wait the rest of the month. (As if this mess of a post isn't making a point of that already...) Obviously, I just need to be honest, but I'm not sure how to phrase any of this. It's already ridiculous that I dropped them down a grate, but it's also the fact that I happened to get an extra prescription around the same time and didn't bother mentioning it to my doctor! I'm afraid I'll just show up at the pharmacy and say nothing because I don't want to be thought of as a drug addict or something...

How ridiculous is this, and how much am I overreacting?

Eh, it's not great but it can be dealt with. You're right that pharmacies see a lot of liars with drug seeking behavior, but they also know that accidents happen. If you don't have a past history of "losing" pills or pestering them to refill prescriptions early, you've got a shot.

* Do this at your regular pharmacy. If you don't have one, pick one for future uses and stick with it. Do NOT go around to different pharmacies trying to fill the new prescription, not even different chains, because that looks like you're shopping around for a gullible pharmacist. Be a good customer, always. Never raise your voice, never get angry or upset.

* If you saved any of the pills you dropped down the grate, put them back in the bottle and bring them with you to the pharmacy. Explain (calmly) what happened and ask what your options are.

This might not work, but it's still your best shot.

Ah! Thank you for replying! Unfortunately I threw out all the ones in the grate, but I'll try to see if I can scrounge up any more! I have kept the same pharmacy over the years and haven't had any incidents like this in the past, so I guess I may have the benefit of the doubt, so that is reassuring. Plus I do tend to be level headed, even if things don't go my way, so I'll put that in practice and take no if that's their answer. Even if they do believe me, I imagine there might be some legal reason that they might have to send me away on, after all.
I'll definitely take your advice! Even if they tell me to wait, then it's really not much different than saying nothing, so I'll see if they hear me out! Thank you again!

I you have difficulties expressing yourself you might also print out the text about what happened and show them.

That's a very good idea! I'll write something out just in case I chicken out. Thank you!
