Not to mention he's on vacation for the next 4 days anyways, so I can't contact him until Friday. So I can't even contact a different pdoc because this place doesn't do "doctor sharing".
That's some real bullsh#t right there.
[sarcasm]But that's cool, I guess... You can be total dicks about it. Doesn't bother me [/sarcasm]
Me thinks it's time for a new pdoc
P.S. I expected the ability to refill my meds because I'm always given refills. I looked at my bottles and the refills say 0. So I was basically prescribed a bunch of meds 4 weeks ago and refills weren't allowed. That's new.

Sometimes my pharmacy/pharmacist will call the prescribing doctor to get refills and will obtain the orders in a flash, when otherwise it can take me 3 days. The docs seem to answer the pharmacist much more quickly.
Sometimes docs will call in refills even on days (esp. Mon-Fri.) they are not officially in the office.
More and more primary care docs are taking over prescribing psych meds. There's a shortage of psychiatrists, esp in private practice.
I hope you can get your meds squared away.
