I was running low on meds and had missed my appointment. I changed my phone number and I don't remember things very well. That cost me $60. I called the office on a Wednesday for medicine and Karen asked me if I could come in that day. I had a terrible migraine and out of meds, so said no. No medication was called in. Then Thursday I make another appointment for the following Wed. She says she will call in meds and I am basically out.
Lamictol is a serious drug to not mess with, and here I get no meds called for the weekend and I'm out. No xanex like I'm supposed to take it, immediate stop on Lamictol, running low on Zoloft. I fill a different strength of Lamictol and alter the dose to get me by on Sunday. Xanex was just gone and I was involuntarily pissy the whole weekend. The quick drop in meds made me have no tolerance. I warned my husband in case I was snappy. Monday I call and the stupid phone person says, "Oh I will call you in enough to get you til Wed." Hell Mo Fo No she didn't. I went to appt on Wed with barely any meds, just Seroquel basically. I told the Dr and he apologized and said he would talk to them about it.
After my appointment I am not supposed to see him for 4 weeks. When I run out of meds I will call (yeah that sounds great) for more for my appt. I go to my counselor appt and I am having real serious panicky anxious feelings, which is different than my normal depression. At the desk I ask them to leave a message for my psych about my Xanex. I don't want to change it up without "permission" bc can't fill it too soon. I explain the main idea, and the damn girl says "Call the medicine line." I asked her if she wants me to leave, go home, call the office and tell them? So I made an appt to see him in person to complain AGAIN about them, and get my medicine fixed. The day before I decided I was too upset & called the office. Left a message saying forget the appt, I don't have the patience to deal with the office and I will just figure it out myself. WOW then the stupid "nurse" or whatever calls and says you can take an extra in am. Not what I frickin wanted, if you would have listened to me. I LOVE my psych and he has helped me more than any in the last 6 years. BUT I so hate the office and the women make my skin crawl. Every time I go in I have to pay. No waiting for the bill to come or paying the actual billing department/company. That annoys me bc I am so broke that I don't always have money every few days between appts.
Just felt like I needed to release my frustration and put it in print to get over it.
