    Oh yes, because of certain cultures, I have to go and get drug tested once a month, and can’t get my prescription refilled unless I show up in person because I might sell my prescription.

    Nevermind the fact that I can easily drop my intake and save pills every month and easily end up with a lot of pills that hold more street value in one pill than the entire bottle can cost me even without insurance. (I can get the entire bottle out of pocket for ~$7 [No insurance] and one pill is ~$10 on the street. Yay free market, eh?)

    The GoodRX thing is completely dumb though and I agree with you on that. My doctor has fucking pamphlets for GoodRX though, no printing needed.

    What’s really fucking stupid now though, that just baffles me. CVS no longer takes my STATE ASSIGNED MEDICAID COVERAGE. They simply refuse to take it. So I’ve had to end up with my prescriptions spread across 3 different pharmacies at this point since Rite-Aid is going tits-up.

    All this and they are still trying to shove anti-depressants down my throat that have literally brought me to the edge of suicide, which in my current situation, is super dangerous because I don’t have any semblance of a support system.
