i'm mostly posting this because i'm incredibly annoyed. I have a prescription for daytrana (it says it's for kids, but adults can take it as well)... but i sort of forgot about using it for awhile and recently used up the remainder of what had been left of my last prescription. anyway, it's a lifesaver. There are almost no negative side effects and I can finish whatever needs to be completed.. blah blah blah. So, yesterday I called my regular doctor's office and asked if they could call in a refill... the receptionist took my name and other info and said, "we'll get back to you." I never heard back that day, so I called again this afternoon only to be told, "Call your pharmacy and have them send us a request for a refill." OK. *Calls pharmacy* Everything seems fine until I give them the name of the medication- "We can't request refills on narcotics," she claims, "You will have to have your doctor call in a new prescription." *calls regular doctor back* Receptionist: "What do you use Daytrana for?" (Given that it is for ADD, I don't know what she expected to hear.)... "We'll get back to you." So I finally resorted to calling my wacky psychiatrist who charges way too much and set up an appointment... an appointment that will last for 5 minutes... a series of DSM questions that have already been answered, and a check for $150-250 depending on how he categorizes the appointment. I sent an email 5 minutes later requesting an over-the-phone appointment so I don't have to wait another week. This shouldn't be so difficult... or am I just impatient?
