Medication & Money troubles

[micaturtle]

My Doctor's front office staff sucks ass. They were supposed to fax my Rx into Walmart last week on WEDNESDAY. I went round and round with them and walmart pharmacy with each passing the buck. I finally gave them a DIFFERENT pharmacy for them to fax it to ASAP on Friday around noon. They failed on that one. No Rx with them all weekend. I called the other pharmacy today, they had received nothing from my Doctor's office. I called my doctor's office and left a grumpy message with my doctor's ineffectual nurse. Then I decided to call Walmart to cancel the order with them. Guess who FINALLY has my Rx? That's right. Walmart. Argh. I am so grumpy about this. However, it's been 6 days, I've missed my Paxil all but 3 of those days, and I'm beginning to get withdrawal symptoms. ARGH. I will go to Walmart after work today and pick up the meds. Mostly because I'm just sick of the whole thing. *grumbles* Fuckfaces. Jenn is going to ask our counselor, Dr. Flynn-Crowe, whom she recommends as a medication doctor, and I think I will start going to whomever she recommends as well after my next appointment with my current doctor.

ARGH. and now I just got my latest paycheck and it's only for $200 instead of $400. I think it might be because of my vacation, but I didn't think that was effected because of my new "salaried" status. I will have to ask before I put the check in the bank, but both of my bosses are, of course, no where to be found. *sai*

I hate this depressed feeling. I am grumpy and sad and angry and overly worried, and I know it's all because I've missed so much of my anti-depressant pills because of FUCKING ASSHATTERY. *grumps and pouts and whines for cuddles from Jenn*

I'm so sorry you've had a crappy day, sweetie!

I'm really happy you were able to get your meds finally, and I fully support you getting a new pill doc.

We'll definitely snuggle big time tonight starting at 7PM so that I don't miss eating so much. Hopefully we can coax one of the kitties onto the bed with us when we go sleepytime. I hope tonight goes by fast so that I can get the DIABEEETUS (Diabetes) screening over with.

I love you, honey-bun!
Jenn

I can't get over how lazy doctors offices get with sending in scripts. Mine has done this to me too. Three days after I'd needed my birth control refilled, when I was out of the medication, they still hadn't sent in the script. Apparently, they don't care that they're screwing with people's health.

Wow. You need a new doc. The last time I called mine for a prescription refill (I usually get a paper one, instead of calling it in), I had them call it in to an out-of-state pharmacy (I gave them the phone number) because I was staying with my aunt for Christmas, and in the time we drove from the house to the local pharmacy the doc called it in. The pharmacist on duty greeted me with something along the lines of 'oh, so that's who this is for! We were wondering if you were a new customer or if we should call them back and tell them you're not on file'. I can think of a half-million things that could have gone wrong, but all that happened was that I had to wait fifteen minutes for the pharmacy to run my info and actually fill the prescription. And this is a med I only take "as needed", and could easily have done without for a couple days.

The only problems I've ever had in getting my prescription involve me not having the time to go to the pharmacy or the pharmacy taking hours to fill it (here's looking at you, Wal-Mart).

Doctors... Got to love them. I'm just saying why can't we have one of those sexy doctors on TV? Okay sure they might piss us off and mess up as just as badly as our own doctors but at least we would have something nice to look at.

I don't think I've ever had a problem with that issue but I hate waiting for the damn doctor. I swear one time I waited three freaking hours and the visit with the doc didn't even take fifteen minutes. Thank God for the DS.

This is one reason why I make it a point to check the messages at my office before I leave, even if I have to stay over. There's always rx refill requests coming in and I'd hate for someone to go through what you've gone through.
