Calling pharmacies about their stock
I’ve been on 60 mg IR for 20 years. Just had an appointment with my psychiatrist and asked if I could switch to XR to see it that works better for me. She prescribed 40 xr and 20mg Ir. I haven’t had issues filling my script with 30mg tabs 2x a day in a long time.
Well, pharmacy had the 20mg tabs, but said they don’t know when they will have the 20mg capsules in stock. Oh yeah, I remember this is why I switched to the tabs again a few years ago.
It would be a huge help if we were allowed to go to another pharmacy and not have to call them, then bother my doctor to write a new script. At least we don’t need a new paper Rx every month, but why the hell cant electronic scripts be filled at any pharmacy in the same system? Especially during this shortage.
The meds don’t work like they used to anyway. Guess I’ll be without for now. How is this happening still.
