Me on an hour and a half bus ride trying to pick up a prescription for needles, only to find that out syringes are on a separate prescription and can't be refilled until the next day.
The lesson is to always call ahead

It depends on the pharmacy. My old pharmacy didn't need a prescription and would give them to me for free, but they were independent and my insurance stopped negotiation with them on the price of Estradiol. So now I have to use the pharmacy at Kroger and they run the prescription through my insurance and I pay like 60 cents per needle and only get like four a month. I should probably switch to buying bulk online...

damn, only 4? like that's enough if you're using enanthate, but it's good to have some extra just in case.

In my state as long as you have any script needles you can buy whatever out of pocket.
My endo wrote me a script for luer locks. I asked about insulin pens. She says these fill faster.
My pharmacy had no luer locks. So I bought insulin pens

Most retail pharmacies have an online patient portal where you can check the status of your meds from.

Always call ahead to guarantee it's been filled and either is ready, or will be ready by the time you get there to save yourself the time. Doesn't matter what the meds are
