7/25/2008 - Nice to know I have a doc I can count on... not!
Posted in Unspecified

I was running low on one of my medications, so I ordered some through the mail-order pharmacy, and it was to be delivered by UPS. Well, the morons at the mail-order pharmacy screwed up and didn't put my apartment number on the shipment, so UPS sat on it for a few days, then shipped it back to the pharmacy. So now I only have a few days' supply left... I called my psychiatrist's office, but he's out of town (of course), and he has no backup for him. Isn't that the dumbest thing you ever heard of? A psychiatrist who has no backup when he's gone, so in case of an emergency, the patient is screwed?? What if I suddenly had a mood meltdown and had to be hospitalized and everything?

Anyway, I managed to get a prescription (for 10 days' worth, which should last me until the stuff comes from the mail-order pharmacy - they are re-sending it, though they had to be badgered into doing that... at first they insisted on me getting a new prescription before they would send anything) from my primary care doctor's office. My doctor happened to be on vacation (maybe she's at the same conference as my shrink!). But the other doctor in the office approved it. At least my primary care doc has a backup!!

Ok, first of all, no mood meltdowns allowed. That is reserved for those of us about to turn 40.

I am glad to hear that you will be getting some part of your prescript. I've never gotten meds through the mail, so I can't say I know how you feel.

Tell your shrink that the next session is on him as he stressed you out by not having a stand-by.LOL

Have a happy day!!!!!!!!!!
