My husband was taking twice daily blood thinner injections. He was having trouble sleeping at night so I thought maybe melatonin tablets might help. I went to the pharmacist window to ask if it was safe for my husband to take melatonin while on the blood thinner. Pharmacist said yes, it was safe. Not feeling quite right about this answer I went to the internet to check. Quickly found out melatonin is NOT to be taken while on blood thinners! Dangerous people behind the pharmacy counter. Customers beware!

Rowdy customer in store annoying people at checkout. I had to admonish the person to "Behave." I suggest you do the same.

Walgreens has the biggest scam going on where no one wins. Its the customer feedback sweepstakes. They use to have an online website where you could take the survey, but that's no longer available. On this website they even listed winners. They have had all of about 8 winners in the 4 or 5 years they have been running this so called survey to win this so called $3, 000 dollars. The phone # on the receite still works but the web site-www.walgreensfeedback.com is no longer in exsitance. For all the money they rake in, you'd think this would be on the up-and-up. Well guess what... We should all bombard their feedback 1-800# and really give them a bad rating & reputation.

I went to Walgreen's today and purchased a prescription for $45.00. I was given a receipt that said I could enter a month cash sweepstakes for $3, 000.00 if I completed a short survey. There is no such survey available. There were numerous other individuals that have complained also. Why has this not been corrected? I was able to call the 800 number and do the survey. Walgreen's needs lessons from Petsmart regarding on-line surveys.

I recieved a prescription from my psychiatrist for Xanax (60 pills month, take twice daily) with 2 refills. I also get Celexia (citalopram) for depression. Recently I was going on a cross country trip and called my Xanax refill in two weeks early, leaving a message. I tried to call to explain why I needed to get them early, but lo and behold, they filled them without a fuss.

I have no insurance and pay cash.

Since I have a refill left, and my money only comes sporadically, I would like to get them early again(15 days) just while I have the money (plus I can only transportation on 1 day of the week, and that's unreliable.

Anyway, I don't wnt to cause a fuss, but are drug stores allowed to refill such medication as benzos and anit-depressents under less stringent rules than narcotics? That is, . did I just get lucky, catching someone in a good mood? I don't want to call and be embarrassed or sound like some junkie. I don't need them, but does anyone know what the restyrictions actually are, or does it depend on the store, pharmacist, state, or whim of the pharmacists?

No biggie, but I was surprised they filled them after only 14 days with no questions asked.

Thanks.
