Not only do pharmacies give the wrong prescriptions but i would highly recommend that you have them count any controlled substance IN FRONT OF YOU as more than once i have been given as little as half the pills i was supposed to get!! I noticed that tho i am extremely careful about how and when i take my medication that i was running lower than i should have been on both pain medication and Xanax. The next prescription we had them count in front of us and found that half my Xanax and about 1/3 of my pain medication was not in the bottle!! Always check all medication before leaving the counter!
