She was really great about it and I hope that this means things are going to go better than it has looked like. For one thing Emsam called the dr which is HUGE after all the back and forth I've had with them. Maybe they actually have listened to my pleas.

Thanks to spacing the patches way out I have 3 weeks to go unless I start to crash. The one thing that has come from this is that if I am not approved for Emsam I feel more confident that I can ride out my transition period at home. Maybe I'll avoid IP in the pandemic. That would be nice.

I'm still so anxious but at least people are working for me and not just leaving this to my millions of calls. Also if they were going to deny I imagine they'd not bother to contact my pdoc, right?
Oh how I hope that they have all the paper work needed to get you right back on the assistance plan! Do they mail meds to you or you fill at local pharmacy??

You are such a strong person You have had the GI stuff for months and months.. Then this crisis of not getting an essential medication Unfortuantly sometimes we do have to stretch our meds to get from point A to B ..

The half life can be so damn annoying at times when getting off meds for a good reason, but that half life can really hold someone together while mistakes like what you have been going through have happened.
