I have an occasion to attend in atl this weekend and I have to be there by noon. I meant to pick up my prescription on Thursday but for forgot and took my last. pills thinkin I would just go Friday forgetting its the 4th of just and my drugstore closed. so I went without meds today and will have to do it until Monday when I get back. my pharmacy is on an island and is a single location so I can't just call it in while I'm in the atl. and they open way after I have to leave. I can feel the effects of not taking it. I'm anxious shaky slightly snappy and obviously have insomnia. My cousin gave me some old klonopin and Canada to use if I need to but I'm not sure about that. I'm going to be staying with my parents and I know they're going to be able to tell I'm not taking it. I just need all the support and advice I can get

If I ever run out of meds I make sure to stay around people that will keep me safe. I always worry about my safety in the case of going off my meds. Take care of yourself this weekend until you can get your meds refilled.

Oh wow, I hate that when it happens. We went camping once and I forgot my meds. I big problem is when I dont take my effectsor I start going through withdraw. We had to leave early because I was sick. If it doesnt make you sick then one moment at a time. Hang in there, you can do this

You can go to a pharmacy where you are now and they can call your normal pharmacy and verify your prescription and you will be able to get your meds .. a few days worth or the whole months supply ...Pharmacies are use to dealing with this .

Stay safe

You definitely have to be creative. I once allowed myself to be inpatient to get med prescriptions. I then left an hour later. However, I never let myself go out of meds under any circumstance. This find that this requires forethought and anticipation of problems. I have been with no meds only a couple times in ten years.

I do hope you get this situation straightened out.
