It sounds to me like you waited until the last minute to try to get your prescription refilled and got stuck. There are strick laws regarding filling of prescriptions such as Duragesic and why they could not fill the prescription for only 7 patches. Here are some ideas to avoid this problem in the future. 1. Do not wait until the last minute to get your prescription refilled ( filled ) 2. Call the pharmacist a few days in advance so that they can order the medication for you -- a medication such as Duragesic has to be special ordered and takes 3 to 4 days to get from the wholesaler - this is not the pharmacies fault - it is a federal law problem. 3. Get to know your pharmacist---- most pharmacists and employees do not like to see someone in pain and we do not get pleasure out of it.
