I understand your frustration.

I've been taking about half my usual dose for days because I was sick last week and didn't get my blood drawn. I tried the week before but my order had run out and they had to request a new one. If things go the way they usually do it should get filled today but it's getting later and I've not heard from the pharmacy which isn't a good sign. I have enough for 2 more days at the reduced dose.

And then I don't know what to do. I'm doing fine on less so I want to stay on less but I'm not supposed to change my dose myself. I don't want to try to deal with that over email with my pdoc so I think I'm going to 300 instead of 350. I just hope she's not mad.

I've failed every other med too so clozapine it is. It sounds like you have a worse time than I do with pharmacy/doctor coordinating but I do know it is annoying to be caught up in the whole process.

For me it's one hour until I call my pdoc's office and beg them to get the labs to the pharmacy, assuming they've even made it to the doctor yet.
