Why is it that this system which insists that you stay compliant with your meds makes it next to impossible to get a prescription refill when something out of the ordinary happens? No wonder many choose to ditch the meds and ultimately end up worse if not dead or in jail. I have been on the same meds since 2000, that is 14 years,168 months, over 5,110 days. I had a mental breakdown earlier this year. My psychiatrist moved to MT and was unavailable to write refills in CO. My family moved me back home. My original psychiatrist retired in the eight years I was away. I tried (as suggested by psychiatrist who moved to MT) to enter an IOP. In their infinite stupidity, after a month of treatment, they told me this was not the place for me, but not to worry about refills because their psychiatrist whom I had seen three times would bridge the gap while I found a new psychiatrist. Within two weeks, when I needed a refill, the less than lady doc told me she would not refill my meds because "I was not her patient" but that I could drop my Lithium without medical supervision.
