Once again I messed the pill count and didn’t renew my prescription in time sol I’ll be riding this coming week dry… thanks stupid US medical system.
UPDATE: I had to pay out of pocket. $120 because my doc didn’t fill some random paper so I could get the meds, but insurance won’t cover it. It takes 6 months to get an appointment with my doc. I saw him last week and he said he would send a refill, he did t. My pharmacy the requested after I called to check. No go. I called the nurse and asked — automated voicemail. I’m done. I’m done I’m done.
Ugh… caffeine helps me.
UPDATE: I got my pills but had to pay out of pocket. Screw this system.
I use the Medisafe app on Android to keep track of my prescriptions. It will remind you to take it on whatever schedule you set. You can also set it to remind you to refill when you have X amount of pills remaining, with X being whatever amount you choose. It’s free, and you don’t have to sign up for anything either.
Excellent tip! Why didn’t I think of that? The smartphone has been a game changer for me. I have meeting timers and alarms out the wazu.
Can you explain what you mean? You took too many too often and now you’re out or you forgot to renew script and for some reason you need to wait a week? I don’t get it
You get 30 pills every 30 days no more no less . You need to renew in time, you then have to wait for your doc to approve the refill then for your pharmacy to get them and fill the prescription. So until all that happens I will have to wait. You can’t refill early you need to do it right at the end.

What’s that?
Also, your doctor doesn’t do like a 3-month supply (3 x 1 month script fills on same script)?
not OP, but my doc sends the 90-day scrip but the pharmacy will only fill 30 at a time. It’s asinine.
Ya same. Don’t really have so much of an issue with that, the OP’s situation is absurd for anyone to have to deal with chronically. The OP would be much better off if they had that option.
Typo. 30 pills. And no. You get 30 pills to use within 30 days no more no less because it’s a controlled substance, stupid useless war on drugs (which really is just an excuse to be legally racist). So if you order too late and you have no other choice than to lapse a few days at some point. You can never catch up with a missed day and you can’t create a stock or reserve.
I keep screwing up my repeat prescription and going dry. It’s annoying and I worry that it will effect my work but then most of my life has been unmedicated so what’s a few days here and there? One alternative is to use some dark web sourced amphetamine in the meantime. Most of what this condition revolves around is other people’s perceptions of my behaviour. If I’m mindful not to let that get to me, I feel okay about myself.
Wow dark web amphetamine sounds like a really bad live decision. Please don’t do it.
Eh. If you can take the appropriate opsec steps to keep yourself anonymous, using the darkweb can be surprisingly safe. You can find darkweb dealers with a full decade of reviews across numerous markets. People sometimes freak out when I say that’s where I used to get my weed, but I always had the best weed in town, and I never had to deal with a creep, and I never had my money stolen. I was using a site that was crazy strict on quality control.
