Wow, OP, you need help.

Some pharmacies assign different colors for different family members. Sounds like that to me.

Maybe gwt a script for some SSRIs next time.

You are not paranoid, and OP, thank you for posting. I would have never known about these colors for family members if you hadn't posted. Thank you.

Yeah, but I'd never think I was being flagged for having "yellow" written on my BCP. That's what is paranoid. Plus, they are going to flag the person in the system, not on their prescription so they know they are being tagged and take their prescription to a different chain.

OP here. Not paranoid, not on meth, not flipping out - just curious, as I don't think I've seen "yellow" written on my label before. Thanks for the helpful answers from a couple of you.

Yes, this! Mine is red, which does not mean RED ALERT DANGER ZOMG

What are you thinking it could be, OP? Are you concerned you're being tracked/watched? Do you get that feeling often?

Paranoid much? Unless you are lying and you are picking up a narcotic but are worried people won't give you good advice.

Lay off the meth honey.

What a strange question.

I'd think in terms of red yellow green. Red means stat. Yellow means pressing but not urgent and green means whenever (fill times). Or could be a till number/time of day/pay category/whatever

U sound a lil paranoid.

I picked up my birth control pills this afternoon, about a week earlier than usual, since I'll be out of town all next week. My pharmacy label with my name, address, etc was marked with a code "Yellow." What does that mean??

I have no other prescriptions, and the BC pill isn't something people generally abuse. I don't understand why I'd be marked "yellow," yet it seems like a really odd marking for a regular prescription. Anyone know what this means at Target?
