We will give you just the right amount and you need to remember to call your doctor, make sure to get a confirmation of the prescription renewal, check with your pharmacy that they received it. Go and get your medication. All that within 3 days of you running out. Also the pharmacy is out of your medication and we’ll get it on about 4 to 7 days. Now you need to remember to call them to check if they received it every day. And that’s how I spent two weeks without meds. I didn’t feel any withdraw, but my wife had to constantly remind me to do things that I could do without reminder while I took them. This is the dumbest system ever.
and delays in picking up meds don't count towards the 30 day wait until your next script can be picked up, so waiting 2 weeks for the pharmacy to figure things out is 2 weeks of meds you don't get back. the 30 day clock doesn't start when the script is sent in or even when it's filled, only when you actually pick it up. so dumb
That part is so frustrating. With the delays now I'm just trying to take less because I know I'm going to be without it.
If your doctor is chill, maybe see about doubling your dose so you get two months out of each bottle. And if they're not chill convince them you do need your meds upped and no one ever knows.
