Problem Adderall Prescription Filled | ADHD Information

I'm 28 and attending a graduate program. During my undergrad studies, I was on adderall (60mg a day), then went off it once I left school.  I just moved to the Denver area for my program and realized that I should get back on adderall because it helps me in so many ways....I have ADHD.  A month ago, I went to a psychiatrist and he prescribed me adderall.... (30) 10mg.  I filled the script at Walgreens.  I followed up with him and he really didn’t seem to know much about ADHD, or any other alternatives (the adderall gives me anxiety, buts it really works wonders).  I decided to go see another psychiatrist a couple weeks later that specialized in ADHD.  He wrote me a script for (30) 20mg of adderall.  I filled it at Walgreens again.  I’ve seen this new psychiatrist 4 times now, just for psychotherapy, which he also does.   I saw him again today and we discussed my dosage of adderall and determined that for me 60mg a day is perfect....no more, no less, so he prescribed me a new script for adderall (90) 20mg.  My issue is, when I went to Walgreens to fill this new script, it must have raised a red flag because they said they couldn’t pill the prescription and had apparently had to talk to both doctors that prescribed me adderall, even though I had already filled a script from the same doctor  weeks prior.   Basically, 2 doctors have prescribed me adderall in the last month so to the pharmacist this must look like I’m doctor shopping, which I’m not. In my experience, when I blindly search for a psychiatrist or therapist, I will get along with some, but others not so good.  What’s the deal here with Walgreens:  I know there’s a drug monitoring program in place in nearly 30 states, and I’m not shopping for Adderall.  I feel great about my life and I’m a guy that pretty much has things put together nicely.  I know adderall is a schedule 2 drug, so I understand that aspect, but to have a pharmacist look at me like I’m a druggie is definitely something I’m not used to.  Does anyone have any input on this matter?

Call the doctors and confirm that walgreens actually talked to them and find out from the doctor what was said.  I think there is some law stating that one person can't get a script filled more than once a month.  to curb illegal drug sellingand prescription abuse. 
Its a controlled substance so it cant be filled more than once a month. Its the law and its meant to protect people. Try not to take it personally. Welcome to the board
I agree w/moderator--don't take it personally--it's "the system" raising caution flags.

I've noticed these exceptions to the general rule of "one script/month" for these schedule II meds:   a) if you are prescribed one med. in the a.m., and the same med. (or variation--eg. short vs. long-acting) or a different sched. II med in the p.m.; or b: there's a change in dose or medication (e.g. going from 20 mg. Adderall to 30 mg. Adderall).

I'm wondering why your doctor is writing you a script for (90) 20 mg. Adderall.   If your daily dose is 6o mg., why isn't the script for 2x30 mg. per day??  Also, keeping in mind that most grad students are on a tight budget, why he's not allowing you a better deal by giving you a script for a 90 day supply vs. a 30 day supply?  Contrary to popular myth, 90 day scripts for Schedule II meds are legal.

That is correct- because it is a controlled substance they really have to watch how much and to who they are giving these drugs to.  I take adderall too and my friend does too. She said I should watch it and not leave it out when people are over because she had a friend that takes them for recreation.  Her bottle was missing pills when her friend left the house.
