Walgreens Pharmacy — Local services in Austin

I am not sure of the pharmacist name or if it is the same one. However, twice now I have had the pharmacist refuse to fill 2 different medications. 1st time the medicine was a sleeping pill zolpidem, he said he was not going to fill a 20mg prescription. I have taken this medicine for years same dose and my doctor and I discussed that the dose I am taking could cause drowsiness the next day. I said in my experience it never has, and he- being my doctor for years and still is agreed I should stay with the dosage I was on and use to for years. However, the pharmacist made the choice even after speaking with my doctor that he knows what dose is best for me and cancelled my prescription bc he was uncomfortable with the dose. The second medicine I don’t agree with the pharmacist decision but it does come w/ an addiction warning so I am not as angry about the pharmacist cancelling that med ( 1mg lorzapam) The pharmacist disagreed again with my same long time doctor writing both prescriptions for me that if needed I could take up to 4 a day. So he refused to fill that prescription as well.

The store has a very high turnover and each time I have to work with a different manager. Hardly anyone there is ever friendly or helpful. No one there seems like they want to be there.

A very strong recommendation to avoid this place. There are so many other pharmacies that should accidentally get things correct more frequently than this lousy Walgreens can. Avoid, avoid, avoid. Seriously, save yourself the...

Whoaaa. So I just went and got my covid vaccine. 6/18, 3pm appointment. The pharmacist who administered it was insanely good (he might be one of the managers?). I have a fear of needles and was shaking and kept my eyes closed and barely felt it at all. And over in less than a minute. I was shocked, part of me is wondering if it even happened, and another part of me was so impressed I almost got down on one knee to propose. So happy for such a painless experience. 100% would recommend. Thank you so much, pharmacy man! I wish I got your name! Will update later if I find out. Edit!!! His...
