After some dental surgery, I was given a prescription for some powerful painkillers, and the pharmacist told me they could only fill all of it or none of it. I literally couldn't obtain a lesser amount. (And thankfully, ultimately didn't need any of it.)

I think that's just a property of the prescription system. Even if you were prescribed something harmless like anti-histamines it's still all-or-nothing, otherwise it would count as the pharmacy not honoring the specifics of the prescription.
