Hey, it’s always fun to run after refills every months especially when it includes vacations like August. I ran out of meds 2 days ago and have to deal with myself for an entire week before I get a refill.

Guess who has 0 motivation and lay on his bed watching time go by? Yup it’s me, I hate it. 1 freaking week… Someone help me please

    As a diabetic I feel your pain. Happens all the time… “There are no more refills left, please wait x business days while we contact your provider…”

    Like I’m going to just stop being diabetic one day…

    A lot of it has to do with insurance companies, they just don’t want to pay to keep us healthy.

    I hated that shit (the dysfunction in my medicine’s absence) so much that I quit taking adderall altogether. Now I have to deal with my ADD but my OCD has settled down in direct proportion and I’m in much better shape physically and have a normal/healthy sleep schedule for the first time in years.

    Not having wildly sweaty and stinky feet, grinding teeth, spending all day to swallow phlegm, or spending 5 hours at a time jerking off my limp dick as I open 300 tabs of porn looking for the perfect one—these are all plusses as well

      Yeah I can feel that, it has been ages since I didn’t take meds though. I’ll see how it goes

    I’m skipping some days here and there to pile up a small amount of pills for those moments. I’d rather skip one day in a weekend I know I don’t have anything to do that spend a whole week dry.

      I do the same thing. I also get 2/day and do my best to time it and get as much as I can before the first is out of my system so I can save the 2nd. My very first refill was late due to a mix-up and I was 5 days without with a lot to do in my life. Since then I’ve been saving whenever I can to have a fallback stockpile.

      More like my doc gave me appointment too late, I’m in France and I have to see my psychiatrist every 28 days to get a refill.

        I’m not familiar with how it works in France, but I’m just brainstorming plans to avoid it in the future. Are they able to send it directly to a pharmacy and not give the scrip directly to you? If so, is it also possible to try to get in a few days early for an appointment for your check-in and they can just send it off on time? In the States I only have to do a mandatory check-in once a year with a doc and visit a nurse practitioner every 2 months and she just has it scheduled to send the new prescription every 30 days. It is more convenient, but I have to trust that they don’t forget and I have to panic call their office.
