So at my weekly appointment I am given my abilify for 7 days, it is samples so I can save money.
I was using my wife's script for seroquel but they are 25mg each and I have to take 4 a night and going through them fast. I asked Pdoc for my own prescription says not a problem she will call in to the pharmacy.
Today I go and pick them up and I am hoping it will be a 30 day supply. Nope 7 days worth and I have to go back next Saturday. My wife says she is keeping you on a short leash!
Will my pdoc ever trust me enough? I don't consider myself suicidal, I mean I have thoughts at times and I have admitted that in my writing to her. But I haven't got a plan or anything and things are kind of stable at the moment.
Anyone else given weekly scripts?

LoneWolfie, it's frustrating not to be trusted.
I'm sure it is out of concern for your safety, and the pdoc has to use her best professional judgment. Getting samples is good, too.
Does your pdoc/T know how you feel about it?
(For me personally, I would hate to have my H dispense my meds for me - I'd much rather that my doctor had that kind of responsibility, than my significant other becoming my guardian. But that's just my own reaction.)
