Goodness, I don't know why she can'r prescribe you enough to get through. Maybe try to get in with another doc if they can get you in sooner and explain the situation.
Good luck!

I'd call my regular dr and tell him or her that you have been on a certain medication regulary and are out and you need a refill til your psych app. Explain it's over a month away. I'm sure they will help you. If you don't have a regular dr maybe try a med clinic or something. That's silly. I'd personally be looking for another pdoc. You can't start people on meds and then not keep them on them.

I had to cancell my last 2 appointments as well. Cuz of the drive and I needed my meds. They phoned them in for me. But I don't think they are going to do it again either until I go see the therapist. I'm also getting low on my meds. My therapist has on his business card they do sessions on the phone? But last time I called them to cancel I asked the receptionist if I could do a phone session and she said that they didn't do that??? Sooo.. Don't they understand sometimes it's hard for us to get there?? I got to wait this week to see what my new sechule is this week at my new job, then I'll call and have to make an appointment soon. I also have a regular doctor. I don't know if you do, but try calling them and see if they will perscribe your meds. Mine did it for me once??? But then told me I should really be getting my meds from my therapist ???? Or maybe call your doctor back and explain your problem to her. Good Luck and hang in there xoxoxoxo

I'm an RN and feel that this nurse is being extremely unprofessional. She should at least give you a prescription for enough pills to get you through to your next appointment. With the kinds of drugs you are on it can cause some bad withdrawal symptoms and could be dangerous. If she won't give in, please go see a doctor that can help you and please try to keep your appointments. Medical professionals have a legal and ethical obligation to reassess you periodically to make sure the meds you take are still appropriate and not causing harm!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
