so, yesterday, I come home from school to find a phone message on the home phone
about how the psychiatrist isn't refilling my prescriptions until I make another appointment with her
which would've been nice if they'd told me this, y'know, earlier than TWO DAYS before my ADD meds run out
and of course by the time I got home yesterday it was a good 2 hours AFTER office hours
and naturally you can only call DURING office hours to make an appointment.
so today I call them after I get home from class
they generally do only do a limited number of refills before you have to go in again, though D8
and still get the machine
so I only have enough ADD meds for tomorrow and Thursday
and I still haven't managed to get through to their secretary to make a damn appointment
I mean, the not refilling before making another appointment makes sense
AND I KEPT GETTING THE ANSWERING MACHINE.
okay tomorrow I am going to call them before I leave, dammit, and I'm going to call until I get a PERSON speaking to me
and make an appointment AND ask about meds at the same time
and even if they DO let me get a refill after making the appointment but before the appointment itself
it'll still be a tight deadline
because then we have to wait for them to get the physical prescription, then go and pick it up from the office
then drop it off at the drugstore, then wait some MORE, and usually pick it up the next day.
dammit I should've stashed more than just one extra pill...
Uuuuugh I know how you feel /)_(\
Everytime I need to get my meds refilled, I need to call the doctor, have her fill out a physical prescription
Go pick it up, and then drop it off at the pharmacy to get filled
