Ugh. There has to be an on call nurse that you can talk to.
I don't know about the police, but I think that I would go knock on neighbors door. (okay maybe not but I don't know. Talk the the nurse and see what she suggests.)
I'm sorry, what a piece of crap.
Could they have fallen out in your car or something?
I'd be really tempted to go and talk to neighbor (owner of the company), if you're 99% sure you didn't lose them somewhere. I hope you're able to get a refill, I'd definitely try the on call nurse.

That is terrible. I feel bad for you. Definitely call the doctor and talk to the answering service or nurse. You can't be in pain the whole weekend. I'm sure there must be something they can do for you.
Call the PD. it's possible the pharmacy will be willing to refill your RX with a case number. Plus you have good suspect information. And your doctor may want a case number as well before he approves a refill If the pharmacy makes you wait.
I called the pharmacy first thing because I knew I had a refill remaining. They will not refill it before the time because it's a controlled narcotic.
I'd still report it to the PD. You have suspect information and there's a good chance you aren't the only customer this asshat has stolen meds from. Plus It's very possible your doctor will want a case number.

I'm a pharmacist. I would recommend that you call the police, file a report. Also call the business and let them know you're missing your prescription. Most likely if this guy stole the precription from you, he is stealing from other people's homes too. I would then recommend you take your copy of the police report and go to an urgent care. Explain to the doctor what happened, they might be willing to write for a few days til you can talk to your regular doctor. Have the urgent care doctor write on the prescription that the previous one was stolen and that it's ok to fill it today. You will probably have to pay out of pocket. You should not have to suffer in pain til Monday.

I agree with greenchile. I don't know much about medicine, but it seems a doctor at an urgent care could write you a script that only has enough pills in it to get you through until Monday, right? And on top of that, if you have a case number, it's not like you're just making this up to get more pills for the hell of it. I hope it works out for you and that you can get a refill/that jerk gets caught.
Absolutely report it to the police. Get a police report. Then I would tell your neighbor what happened. Sorry you are going through this and I hope you feel better soon!
