I’m trying to decide if he’s probably working on it or if I should call. But he might have already left. I think I might have enough to last until he gets back if I cut some old pills of a different dosage and maybe taper the dose slightly. I’m stable so I could probably manage.
I don't know if it's different where you are, but where I am it's usually the pharmacy's responsibility to contact psychiatrists for such prior authorizations. I have had pharmacies suggest I nudge a psychiatrist, but they initially did it. Can you ask your pharmacy to send him the request again?
