My worst story would be after I had surgery, the doctor didn't put the quantity down on my painkillers. It was a weekend, and he wouldn't fill it until Monday, so thankfully the pharmacy gave me 5 pills, but it sucked going through the hassle!

I would advise you to change specialists becuase communication between the doc's office and your pharmacist is crucial...any slight deviation can seriusly harm you and that is definently not what you want.
ANother thing I advise folks when it comes to meds, is to always keep an eye on their insurance coverage and their drugs ...you would be surprised how much insurance may or may not cover or even change coverage when it comes to your meds.
