It's been a nightmare dealing with this. It took months of trial and error with different medications like Effexor and Buspar but I finally found one that works. I've been on fluvoxamine/Luvox for about two months now. It took a month to get into my system. Last week I noticed I was running low so I sent in a message to my psychiatrist in my patient portal that I needed refills cause I had none left. He never responded to me or sent in the prescription. Life happened, my phone wasn't charging and it died so I couldn't call him so I had to go out of my way to buy a new phone after taking a few days to attempt to fix it. Then I realized my meds were out. I emergency called the facility my psychiatrist works for and they sent three urgent refill requests to him. I tried to go to Walmart to get an emergency prescription to hold me over. They denied it. I called the clinic and they said they weren't comfortable with prescribing SSRIs. Then I went to the ER, spent $250 fucking dollars just to get an 3 day emergency supply to hold me over. Got a notification today that my prescription was ready. I picked it up but couldn't look at the meds right away cause I had a psychological screening appointment, came back an hour ago at 9:30 at night, looked at the pills...he sent in prescriptions for the trial medicines that I no longer take. You know, the ones that cause unpleasant side effects or just don't work?? I've had to remind my psychiatrist fucking TWICE that he had my on fluvoxamine now at previous appointments. And I don't have another appointment until September 9th. I'm at my wits end. If I end up going off of these meds because of his fucking mismanagement there will be hell.
On top of that this week in general has just been nonstop bullshit. Started with my car, got new battery, had to replace a sunroof drain hose problem. Total of $320. Then as mentioned earlier, my phone stopped charging completely. Tried to clean the charging port. Didnt wotk. Took it to get it fixed. Cost $100. Didnt even fix the damn phone. Gave up and went to buy a new phone entirely. $450. Then this prescription problem happened while all of this other stuff was occuring. Went to my psychological screening appointment today. It almost got canceled on me AS I was walking into the building because the power went out. Luckily it came on shortly after arriving and we were able to complete the 4 hour appointment. I blew through over $1.5k in a week. I am hurting for money, I am emotionally exhausted, and I want to give up. It has been non stop. I havent had a true day off in three weeks.
