SUBUTEX: This is not unusual because of the addictive potential. I would suggest getting a letter from your doctor and copy of pain contract to show pharmacist. If that doesn't work discuss with your pain doc changing pharmacy closer to his office to limit this issue.

Subutex: I have no idea why they will not fill a lawful prescription. As far as I know there is no law that states that a Doctor has to be within a certain distance of a pharmacy to fill a prescription. That being said, it may be wise for you to fill the prescription at a pharmacy near the doctors office to avoid this problem.
