Hey all,
Just wanted to update on how I'm feeling. No one wants to hear me gripe about my pharmacy experience-- I won't go there lol. My day has been very difficult because of it. I've had a hard time not letting it get all over me. I got my traditional "uncomfortable, uneasy" feeling a few hours after taking my meds, as usual, but I feel a lot better now. At the end of the day. I won't have to skip days of medicine. That's really all that matters in the end. I do hope the pharmacy does something about the way I was treated though. It was well beyond outrageous. I'm not the type to really formally complain and only if it grows to such a matter do I do it. I don't want anyone to lose their job (but let's be honest, I don't forsee that happening from one incident) but I don't think that should be tolerated and the pharmacy reps seemed to very much agree.


I called my doctor about since I'm having some issues sleeping well, (falling and staying asleep), I do have some Seroquel on hand, just a few pills and she said I could take them. I called to see if she'd be able to prescribe me a few more until I see her again. Unfortunately she can't, since she didn't prescribe them the first time she'd have to see me. [the center was relaying this to me, I didn't speak directly to the doctor] They were willing to push up my appointment but I declined. I explained the new meds I'm on we are gauging it for dosage and efficacy and moving up the appointment just for this would put things out of wack. It'd just mean I'd need another few weeks to come back to report back on any change. I'd prefer to keep my original appointment and kinda just deal with it as I can. -- Funnily, no issues came up there. I'm just happy to know ONE interaction didn't go south today lol.

It's really incredible how much better I feel with my medicine, and knowing I have it makes me feel a huge sigh of relief. I feel bad about the scenario. The only person who is gonna advocate for me is me, but at the same time I feel like I had the world agaisnt me and I'm in the wrong for trying to ensure I don't go without medicine... I'm also seriously looking at other pharmacies.

So, I said I wasn't gonna talk about it, and I am. lol. I'm gonna read a book tonight, play a video game, practice a little foreign language and try to rest well. Let's hope it happens.
