Today has been a pretty good day!
1) I went walking this morning, and my mom tagged along.
2) Bought some donut holes from a local bakery here in town. Nothing like a fresh donut hole to pick up your spirits!
3) I had my psychiatrist appointment, same technical hiccup as last time (it's telehealth and they don't have the correct link associated for her "waiting room") but we figured it out.
4) Mom made some chilli, one of my favorites of hers, which I'm chowing down on now.
5) Generally, just feeling pretty OK.
My psych appt went as expected. This was just a check in to see if adjusting was needed. It's only been two weeks and I'm doing well right now. So, we kept dosages as is and made an appointment in 3 weeks. She did give me 3 refills on both meds prior so that's fine... but it is gonna be a bit of a struggle between pharmacies. When I was put on these meds, my pharmacy didn't have one of them in stock, and they wouldn't until med next week. I was struggling so poorly I didn't want to go that long without starting it and getting it in my system. I found a pharmacy that had 23/30 pills they could fill for me. I had my prescription transferred to them (15 miles away) and they filled it. Now, to get it back to my pharmacy, I don't know how it's gonna work. They told me they won't even attempt a transfer of prescription until it's almost time to refill. [don't ask me why they cant just take it and hold it..]. I don't know if they will comp me my week of pills they didn't fill, and then a 30 day supply, or not. I DO know they will comp you a 3-day supply no issue. So, that means at worst, it'll be four days without one of my meds. They told me to call back when I have about 5 pills left to transfer the prescription. I'm dreading that debacle...
Other than that, I'm taking today pretty well. Good things have happened. There are minor things, neither here nor there, that have made it a bit, odd, but in the end -- I'm feeling good. I'm doing OK. Let's just enjoy that. I don't see a reason to waste a good mood when they're still so rare for me.
That's all.
EDIT: Called the pharmacies -- basically we've come to the conclusion my insurance will pay for it in a few days again, just get the 30 days supply then since my normal pharmacy won't take a transfer unless it can be dispensed now.
She explained what the issue PROBABLY is, it's a named brand drug where it costs a lot to have them in stock and on supply. They don't want to pay for something they don't have to. That's why there's all this fuss. If my insurance will pay for it in 4 days, just transfer it then to my normal pharamcy, and they WILL fill a full prescription (the 7 pills I didn't get will be irrelevant right now, and it'll make sure that I have meds on hand AND a new prescription, so there won't be days without meds.). If they absolutely refuse to fill the partial, it won't matter-- I'll get a new prescription the next time I see the doc. I'll just explain they won't fill a partial. I hope it works out like that.
