My pdoc's assistant is refusing to let me talk to my pdoc after I said four times on one call that I need a prescription. (I had called her last week as well, btw.) She said that one of my prescriptions from November 8th has a refill and to use that refill. The problem is that there is NO such November 8th prescription and thus NO refill.
When I hung up, I looked on my pharmacy's website yet again and still couldn't find any kind of refill. Then I called up the pharmacy and they said they didn't have any Zoloft refill in their system from any date. I explained that I was calling because my pdoc's assistant said I had a refill, even though I figured I did not. Then the pharmacist lady was like, "Nope, we can't refill. We don't have any refills."
Now tomorrow it's supposed to snow and rain (i.e., it'll be really slippery), which means I probably won't be able to get it tomorrow. Not that that matters anyways, since the dumb lady is gone for the day today and won't be getting back to me anytime soon. And I guess if it's "too snowy" for her to go into the office, then she probably won't come in until Wednesday. At that point, it's too late because the pharmacy NEVER fills on the same day. They always take at least a day to fill, and sometimes it's longer if they're out of stock.

bluebicycle, I'm in disbelief at how you are being treated. I'm so sorry you are put into this situation. I can't imagine my pharmacist ever just telling me to blow off like that. I am 99% sure that my pharmacist would have called my doctor's office and told them I had no refills and would ask if refills were approved. That would solve the problem. Can you call your pharmacist and ask that they do that for you? You may also want to let them know about the confusion and that you have not been able to take your medications because you ran out X number of days ago.
It sounds to my that your doctor's assistant may not be the one to take any initiative. That's why I'm hoping maybe your pharmacist will? I do think that next time you get to see/talk to your psychiatrist that you tell him/her about the assistant's error.
I'm assuming you have NOT been taking more of that medication than you should. If you have been taking it, as directed, please really advocate for yourself strongly. You should not be a victim in this. You may need to put forth some very assertive statements.
