yes, the same thing happens to me in terms of the "one month" thing. But I am on two meds that order just for me and now they always have them on hand. Perhaps you could talk to the pharmacist and tell him or her that you will be on this med and to please keep in stock so that you do not have to wait. Or you can try changing pharmacies and see if that helps.

PS If you ever plan on going away need more that one month supply you will need you doctor to write that on your prescription.
> Does anyone else suffer constant problems with their pharmacy? Mine won't refill an rx until 2 days before the previous one is expected to be used up. That's fine, but it's not uncommon for them to tell me that they're out of whatever drug I need when I do order a refill, and I end up missing a day or two (like today) until they get it in. If not that, they forget to make ordered refills, short me pills, etc. Some of them have never even heard of the drugs I order ("What's mir..ta...za....PINE?"). Argh!
