So... I'm having pharmacy issues. The pharmacy (not my insurance) refuses to fill my Rexulti prescription. They're arguing that Rexulti "is only for major depressive disorder and schizophrenia", so they refuse to fill it. So because I have a bipolar Dx attached to the Rexulti Rx, it's going to get rejected every time.

My pdoc says there are ways around it, such as telling the pharmacy that "going off the med will destabilize the patient" and such.

Can someone explain to me why my pharmacy can't fill the prescription? I mean, I don't see how anyone could abuse an antipsychotic to "get high"! Unless they're trying to "protect" me from taking a med unnecessarily. However, they're not my doctor and plenty of Rx's are used for off label!!! So maybe I'm just missing something here?

My pdoc has been giving me free samples while we work this out, so I'm okay for now.
