Who sent this student off to school w/o a way to refill her meds? That’s just negligent. This is like sending someone off to college w/o a way for them to get their insulin.
No, you can’t refill a prescription for anti-depressants, ADHD, etc. across state lines unless your pharmacy is part of a larger network (CVS and equivalent). Even so, some states allow the refill from an OOS provider, some don’t. You certainly can’t show up at a pharmacy - even an in-state pharmacy - unless an unexpired e-script or equivalent is on file.
We have two children attending college OOS in separate states who take ADHD and/or anti-anxiety meds, and each state has different laws on this issue. Someone needed to help this young lady understand how to continue getting her meds once she went away to college. There are several options, including getting a 90 day supply or getting them filled and mail-ordered. A simple call to student health at OU in the late spring / early summer would have given her plenty of time to set up a plan of action.
This isn’t about OU National Scholars dropping the ball - this was about an ill-prepared kid with a chronic medical issue setting herself up - or her family setting her up - for failure. Unbelievable.
