Losing Sleeping Pills

Hello @amandaburnett! Cigna called the pharmacy and it said that the drug is a controlled substance so I had to call my doctor and have it call the pharmacy telling it about the loss of pills. When I told my nurse practitioner this she said she'd be in the red if she did that. She called the pharmacist a year ago saying I lost pills down the drain but she won't admit that. She did call a pharmacist. He said I could pick up the medicine two days early. At this point I'm one pill short. I'll have to go to the pharmacy sometime when I know a nicer pharmacist will be there so the Zolpidem can be filled either a day or two ahead.

@lsittll
I have a suggestion regarding the lost pills. Have you considered putting one pill in a pill case for each day of the week? That way, spilling them down the drain or perhaps taking more than one would be less of a problem.

Just a thought to consider since this has happened more than once.
