Has anyone ever had really bad experiences with a pharmacist or persons who distribute you your methadone? I'm in canada where I get mine at a pharmacy and since I started the program in 2019 I NEVER had a pharmacist treat me bad except one that happened 2 months ago.
She was snarky, mean, judgey and was doing things unnecessary and asking me questions on purpose to upset me. Slammed my supply on the counter...etc.I never did anything to her so I don't know why. I complained to another pharmacist and she said she would tell the owner. (Mistake I should of done that myself ) I never seen her working the methadone counter again until today. She knew I said something by how how she was acting. Again for no reason she was super out of line with me. I didn't want to make a scene so when she out my supply on the counter I grabbed them aggressively. I ran out of there crying my eyes out again. Everytime I encounter this woman I end up screaming to myself and crying and getting VERY upset. I have many mental health issues and especially now I'm not doing good and she knows that since she checked my file many times. I don't know what I did. I don't know why she treats me like that.
My father says tomarrow I should talk to the owner of the pharmacy tomarrow but I doubt they would even care? Would this be worth it. I just don't want to deal with her anymore. I m so upset.
Does anyone have any advise or comment about my situation...or any stories of bad experiences with people giving you your methadone or safe supply???
TLDR- Pharmacist was super out of line treated me AWFUL for now reason. What can I do about it and does anyone have similar bad experiences?
EDIT- I just wanna say thank you to everyone who replied! I was feeling sick to all through my body in my stomach with stress (hard to explain but not a good feeling it sucks!) And reading all the replies made me feel so much better! I was thinking about how I reacted and even thought I never said anything or raised my voice (when she was talking to me) I probably shouldn't of "agressively" grabbed my pills and stormed off. Now I'm just going to be more cool and just realize that there are awful judgemental people out there when it comes to recovery or whatever. I guess I was just super lucky cause like I said I was always treated with respect except with this one lady so it was really shocking. Now I'll know better that it probably will happen again and not to react cause they are in charge of my medicine and I don't have an option to switch to another pharmacy cause they are all too far away from me. I dont think ill be reporting her cause she's not a regular worker she's like extremely part time. Thank goodness! I just needed to vent here so upset, thanks everyone!!
My old clinic had a code you could just scan on your phone to give “feedback” on any of the workers. I think most have something similar, even if they don’t have it posted up as easy as scanning a code you could ask someone about filing a complaint and I definitely think you should, that person has no business working there.
