Thanks Sabby. I wish I had a doctor who could answer these questions. MY GP needs the internet to find answers to my most basic questions about my dx or the meds. I know more about the illness and treatment then he does. The wait for a pdoc is minimum 3 months and 8 weeks between visits if you are even given that option.

Because of the shortages and the mobility of pdocs each time I was sent to one of them I would walk out with a new dx (or at least some additions to the list that keeps growing... what is up with that!!) and a new set of recommended meds.

Get this one..... the last pdoc gave me a prescription for anxiety. I told her my fear of abusing meds so we agreed she would only prescibe 10 at a time and provide refills for 6 months.

I held on to that script for a few months now but things have been so bad that I thought I would give the med a try. Turns out there are no refills ordered and that 2 1/2 months needed to pass before I could get a refill.

Abilify... I think that is what it is called. Anyways I didn't take the script. Been here before. They prescribe something and for one reason or another I can't get a refill without jumping through hoops.

My anxiety just mounted as the girl tried to explain things to me. It was too much. I just had to walk away mid sentence while she said something about a refund. I told I would be back another day but I couldn't deal for another minute while I bolted to my car and cried until I could help myself settle things down.

Sorry.... did not mean to sound so defeated but sometimes it is easy to accept things as they are and go about taking care of myself and not looking outside of me for help. The let downs are much harder for me to deal with.
