For example, some people only take them on weekdays to help them on the job, but don't take them on weekends when they have a lower cognitive load. I think it gives the heart a rest too--better for heart health. I don't see the problem. Plus, that way you can get a little cushion of meds built up so if you aren't able to go to the pharmacy exactly 30 days since the last visit, you won't be completely out of the med. Could you prove to the pdoc that you didn't sell the meds by showing him the meds in your pill bottle? If they're still there, then obviously you didn't sell them.

I told them I didn't take the instant-release afternoon dose the day before because it was the weekend and I often don't take the full dose on weekends, just like you. Especially because it's marked "if needed." It was a fasting test, so I hadn't taken it that day. Wish I had, though.
I also can't prove that I didn't sell the meds because I had taken them all, like I was supposed to! There was one day left when they told me that they were switching me off the drugs.
Anyway, I'm thoroughly disgusted with how they treated me and I'm not going back to them. I'm working on finding a new psychiatrist now.
