Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
just tried to get my effexor prescription refilled and was denied it, saying my insurance has been canceled. and it is a fucking sunday, so of course i cannot contact anyone about it right now.
i know it hasn't been canceled, i never received notice and there was no problem last month and i have paid my premium since then??? this is the 2nd time this has happened and it is pissing me off. but i can't really go look for different insurance since this is the one provided by work and probably the best deal i can get.
another thing is i am not allowed to refill it until the day i actually need it - so i really am fucked! i don't have it to take tonight, and anytime i forget to take it before bed i wake up feeling like shit - dizzy, headaches, disoriented. how am i going to function at work? and i can't miss work cause i need the fucking money! and i don't have $200 to just buy the medicine until it all gets straightened out.
i am so pissed right now and made a huge scene at the pharmacy and cussed them out. now i am even embarrassed to go back.
i have felt so emotionless lately with other things going on in my life and i guess this just made me snap! i am so tired of it all.

insurance sucks..but so do most other systems. shit...i wish we could figger out how to take care of people in this world. ugh
i am so frustrated and afraid i will wake up feeling too crappy to work - and considering hours have been cut back lately i really can't afford to miss what i do have.
argh!!!
anyone know a way to help ease withdrawal symptoms since this is so sudden?
I could mail you 14 x 75 mg tabs from the UK tomorrow.. is fed ex still running?
Do you know anyone else who takes them who could get you one to take in the morning?
you can manage this one day.....take care and *hugs*
i have one friend i believe has some samples from when she used to take it but it is expired, so i dunno.
i'd recall the pharmacy..and ask them if they could sell u a few of them to do u till u get it straightened out. u have the script...so they CAN do this.
don't talk to the tech's..ask to speak to a phamacist....they know anti'd's shouldn't be stopped suddenly.
good luck darlin'.
i wish i never started taking this stuff. i know overall it has helped, but it has also caused stress a few times that never would have been there had i not been taking it.
