I had a 60 pill twice a day prescription filled on the 8th of August. I misplaced my pill bottle. My doctor wrote me a new prescription today. I tried to get it filled but the pharmacist told me I'm not due until the 31st which is is a week early from my original prescription. I didn't want to argue but next month if I get it filled 30 days from the 31st is that going to be okay? It looks like I should have enough pills for 7 more days after that because of filling it a week early this month. Is that going to count as an early refill too? I don't want to get me or my doctor in trouble.
Filling Adderall early?

I'm on Adderall and since it is a schedule drug, no pharmacist is able legally to fill any C-ll narcotics early. That's on your pharmacist. Not you or your doctor.

If you explain what happened to the pharmist, you should be fine. You probably can't get it covered by insurance because it isn't ready for refill but you should be able to pick it up. As long as you used the same doctor both times to get the Adderall, I don't see the issue. Just be upfront and honest with the pharmacist if you're worried.
