Unfortunately, that's correct. I even argued with the pharmacist that he was wrong about the law (yeah, that always goes over well, right?). The law actually says a Schedule III drug can be filled partially, as long as the remainder is given to he patient within 72 hours. Furthermore, I've had pharmacies do it before with this same drug--admittedly, not in New York state. So, unless there is a NY specific law, he was wrong. At any rate, it means I can fill the prescription earlier than usual next month. It's unfortunate, but it's not the end of the world. The only other option was waiting until they got more of the drug on Monday, but by then I would be in full withdrawal.
