Refilling Your Prescription: Doctor Visit or Pharmacy Pickup?

Question
I am currently on the pill, but I am almost out of my perscription. Do I have to go back to my doctor to get another perscription written out, or can I go to my pharmacy and pick another package up?

Answer
If there are no more refills on your prescription you will have to call the doctor.  I don't know if he will make you come in or whether he will just renew your prescription and call your pharmacist with the renewal.  Sometimes you can go to the pharmacy and they will call your doctor for the renewal.
