These people have advanced degrees.

What a colossal fuck up. I've been on Mirtazapine for several weeks now. A week ago Monday, I noticed I was running low, and entered a refill request with my pharmacy. I got an "oops, no refills left, contacting the doctor" message.

Fast forward to last Saturday. I'm now out of Mirtazapine. We go to the pharmacy. They never heard back from the issuing doctor. I get three pills to bridge the weekend. Request refaxed.

Yesterday. No refill. I have an absolutely sobbing on the floor meltdown because Kiri had picked up a prescription for me, and neither of us checked it. It wasn't Mirtazapine, but my Warfarin.

I call the clinic, leaving an angry message. Get called back this morning.

They don't do refills by fax. You have to come in for the form. I am seeing the guy on Friday now.

But I have to fucking ask: if you give a person a prescription that has to be refilled with a hand-written prescription, and it is a 30 day supply, why in the ever-loving fuck would you schedule the next appointment for 45 days later?

A very stressful week and I'm spending three days off my crazy pills. Oh, joy.
