I've literally had pharmacists "tut tut" me about being prescribed them, called an addict, questioned if I really need them, had them called legal meth. Like bitch, if my brain could get addicted to this shit, I wouldn't forget to take them!

    Ugh, yeh I hate judgemental pharmacists. I take a couple of controlled substances, but I've found a pharmacy nearby where they are super nice and happy to have my business. Now my whole family goes there for all our pharmacy needs, even if the shitty chain discount place might be a little cheaper.
