Dude. I am SO sorry, that shit really fucking sucks ass. Is your pharmacy just out of stock?
More like my doc gave me appointment too late, I’m in France and I have to see my psychiatrist every 28 days to get a refill.
I’m not familiar with how it works in France, but I’m just brainstorming plans to avoid it in the future. Are they able to send it directly to a pharmacy and not give the scrip directly to you? If so, is it also possible to try to get in a few days early for an appointment for your check-in and they can just send it off on time? In the States I only have to do a mandatory check-in once a year with a doc and visit a nurse practitioner every 2 months and she just has it scheduled to send the new prescription every 30 days. It is more convenient, but I have to trust that they don’t forget and I have to panic call their office.
I usually have an appointment before I run out yeah, buuuut not this time

I feel like I’ma end up with bed sores with how much I’ve just been laying here without motivation to do anything but listen to sad music and regret my life.
So much this!
As a diabetic I feel your pain. Happens all the time… “There are no more refills left, please wait x business days while we contact your provider…”
Like I’m going to just stop being diabetic one day…
A lot of it has to do with insurance companies, they just don’t want to pay to keep us healthy.
I’m skipping some days here and there to pile up a small amount of pills for those moments. I’d rather skip one day in a weekend I know I don’t have anything to do that spend a whole week dry.
I do the same thing. I also get 2/day and do my best to time it and get as much as I can before the first is out of my system so I can save the 2nd. My very first refill was late due to a mix-up and I was 5 days without with a lot to do in my life. Since then I’ve been saving whenever I can to have a fallback stockpile.
I hated that shit (the dysfunction in my medicine’s absence) so much that I quit taking adderall altogether. Now I have to deal with my ADD but my OCD has settled down in direct proportion and I’m in much better shape physically and have a normal/healthy sleep schedule for the first time in years.
Not having wildly sweaty and stinky feet, grinding teeth, spending all day to swallow phlegm, or spending 5 hours at a time jerking off my limp dick as I open 300 tabs of porn looking for the perfect one—these are all plusses as well
Yeah I can feel that, it has been ages since I didn’t take meds though. I’ll see how it goes
