Red-flagging pharmacy records

From what I have read about pharmacies on SR, I had gotten the impression that it's possible for pharmacies to flag a person's account for narcotic abuse. I asked to have my account flagged because I want to make it as difficult as possible to get pills. The pharmacist informed me that he couldn't do that. In fact, his rather naive response was, "If you don't want narcotics, just don't bring the script in to get filled." If only it were that simple! Unfortunately, it's not, at least not for this addict.

Although I've contacted my doctors, I was hoping to lessen the temptation to make hospital runs or walk-in visits if/when the insanity in my head starts-up. Have I misunderstood that pharmacies are able to flag files of suspected narcotics abusers? This was a major-chain pharmacy.
