My Doctor wrote me a prescription for 25 tabs of Lorcet or vicodin for severe headaches.

Do you think he will refill my script when I run out?

He wrote the prescription with no problem.

I am not a drug addict at all I just have severe headaches almost everyday.

Thanks!

Answer:

He should, he knows that they are for pain and not to cure.

I don't think so. You're going to need to go to someone who specializes in headaches and migraines. You'll be given something that won't just kill the pain, but will eliminate the problem.

most will i have gone to walk in clinics no problem.

As a pharmacy tech, I don't see a problem with your doc writing out another script for Lorcet. Call the doctor's office and ask the doc if s/he if s/he could write another script and if the doc needs to see you again just in case that the doc wants to change the prescription strength or change of medication. A hint of getting rid of headaches: reduce stress and amount of caffeine - get plenty of sleep.

This is a no brainer!!

CALL THE PHARMACY!

THEY WILL SAY THERE ARE NO REFILLS.

THEN ASK THEM TO CALL THE DOCTOR For YOU!!

My pharmacy is automated, when i call-- the machine prompts it all and I don't call the doctor and get my refills.

and it says, no refills remaining,
