I rarely need prescription medication, but when I do, I go to the pharmacy to get it filled. I don't know of any other way to get the medication.
Judging by how long the lines at the pharmacy are, I have lots of company.

I don't even walk down the home aisle of mine anymore when I'm there because they will NOT have my detergent or dog food in stock and haven't had it the last 4-10+ trips I've made. Just an empty shelf where it should be sitting. It's an extra kick in the teeth because living where I live the CLOSEST "grocery" store is this Walgreens. I basically live off of Amazon deliveries and hate it but oh well.
Sometimes I'll drive the 20-25 minutes (3 miles) and get there and they're so understaffed that there's either a "We're at lunch, back in 1 hour" or "Everyone is sick, Pharmacy is closed."
Our pharmacy options are pathetic. And living in a food/pharmacy desert is a nightmare for people who don't have reliable transportation.
All this bs just to get my ADHD meds every month for the last 30 years of my life.
In fact, every medical insurance provider I've had for years has tried to push me onto their in-house pharmaceutical delivery service. Traditional pharmacies have been getting squeezed for a long time.
