What should i do I need my medicine but I am afraid of getting in trouble if I get involved in asking again.
I have been going to my regular doctor to get adderall and clonipin because I did not think I would have mental health coverage until july so he said he would help untill july. Then I went doctor shopping to get a refill on both meds with a free clinic. Anyway when I asked for the clonipin from my regular doctor, my discount togetherRX card said I could not refill because I just got clonipin from another pharmacy. The pharmacy just said I could not refill for one month. I acted like I did not get the other prescription and asked if there was any way I could get the clonipin because I am out

This is really something you need to talk to your doctor about. "Doctor Shopping" is a crime and taken very seriously. You do not want to fool around with this.
Going to the same pharmacy repeatedly or trying to fill a prescription for the same drug at different pharmacies is a great way to get caught. I would strongly advise not doing it again.
I'm still not sure why you had to do this in the first place, seems that you should have enough meds for a month. The details weren't clear to me. Anyway don't Doctor Shop.
