Walgreens — Local services in Lewiston

I regularly have issues with this location. Either something gets lost, isn't filled, or is filled incorrectly. I take a medication which comes in sealed vials and they are single use. My prescription says that I am supposed to get 4 every month and the last three months I have been given only 3 and then had to fight my insurance to get it filled so I have my medication. I would be a little bit more forgiving if not for the fact that the label they print says I should be receiving 4, which only further messes up my ability to get my medication. Not only that, but they will take days to fill a medication and I've had times where I have ordered on the first day I am allowed too before the medication runs out and they will not have it together until several days after I have none left.

In the year I have lived up here, I have had maybe three weeks where a very sensitive medication has been consistent. This lack of regularity has caused side effects which have resulted in joint issues and a lot of pain because my body is unable to level out and remain consistent. I am on quite a few medications and have suffered in every single area because there is no dependability. I've had to spend days in bed which prevented me from getting my medication when it /was/ finally ready, prolonging the time I am stuck unable to function. I can only image how stressful going to this pharmacy must be if you are on something like a heart medication. My provider regularly has to call the pharmacy and fight them over medications I have been on the entire time I have been a customer there because they will randomly decide they need it checked even if it has already been renewed recently.

What really put the nail in the coffin for me was that one day I logged in to refill a prescription and they had wiped my entire prescription log save for two medications which had expired prescriptions. I had to call my provider and get the whole mess sorted out. I am now working on switching to a completely new pharmacy and will no longer be using Walgreens. It has caused me too much grief and there are far cheaper places to get medication. I originally chose Walgreens for the drive-thru but it is an insanely long wait most days and frankly, it is faster to go in to pretty much any other place.

Sad to have to go somewhere else given I loved the people at the pharmacy I went to down in Caldwell, but this place is anxiety inducing to deal with and I cannot count the amount of times I have shown up three days after ordering a medication to find out they hadn't bothered to even try and fill it. Save yourself the trouble and go to...

All three times I’ve gone in after getting a call saying my pills are ready I’ve had to wait in the store almost 3 hours. I am a full time Noc shift CNA Med Tech. A full time day college student. Not to mention I NEEDED my medication so I could take it and actually attempt to get sleep. Going in they would say oh there’s been a complication with your insurance, then I’d check again 40 minutes later, they were “getting my pills ready” check another 30 minutes later “ it will be just 10 more minutes” again 30 minutes later “oh sorry 10 more minutes”

If our medications are not ready for pick up DO NOT CALL ME 3 times in one hour saying they are. 🤦‍♀️

I transferred to Walgreens from Shopko hoping they would treat me better. Instead they are treating me worse and charging me 3 times as much.

At Shopko my Prozac is $10, they tried charging me $75 saying my insurance doesn’t cover it.

I’ve been on this medication for 4 years and my insurance...

All you have to do is scroll down in these reviews to see why Walgreens has a 2.5 rating & you'll come to realize it's all the pharmacy. Each review detailing the same negative experiences. Saying meds are ready for pick up when they're not, horrible customer service, pushy & rude pharmacists, misinforming customers. There was one that I read from 3 YEARS AGO with the same problems people are still complaining about now. Walgreens simply doesn't care that their pharmacists are some of the most rude, barbaric forms of human beings to ever walk this earth. I truly cannot believe how unprofessional these people are. Some people need medication to keep themselves alive, whether it's mentally or physically. Why come into an important field and treat all patients like crap? Never coming here again, cheaper meds are not worth this kind of trouble. I really suggest everyone stay away from the mess that is the...
