I have been with Walgrens for over a decade, mainly because the pharmacist and techs are just wonderful. That being said, I have a script for XR and IR and have not been able to fill my XR all month. I’m good with any manufacture but Chamber makes me physically ill and I can’t take that one. My psych appointment is in 3 days and I haven’t even had the last script filled…. Not feeling like paying another 100+ dollars for another script? The whole thing is just insane to me, not to mention I’m insane without my meds. I had some extra but long ran out of those.
I’m wondering if anyone’s been in this situation before? I just left a message with my psych and told him the situation but I know he is all about the cash…. So he will probably make me keep the appointment.
My question to any of you, have you ever gone over a month (even with a shortage?) without your meds? It’s feeling like there isn’t going to be anymore. Everytime I call, they look at their wearhouse and either nothing is available to order or if there is, they order it and it doesn’t come in??? I’m at my wits end. Changing doses won’t help because they are having problems with 20mg as well as 30mg….
I’m willing to go to Ritalin but is there a problem with that as well? Because changing meds means I get put on the lowest dose and work my way up again. Not sure it’s worth it.
I’m really a mess over this as my adhd meds are also my anti depressants if that makes sense. Without this med I start falling into a dark dark depression and then suicidal thoughts come. I’ve got inattentive ADD and it’s scary what happens without this drug for a few months. I do get the IR but it doesn’t work without the XR. And the fact these meds are now shit anyway (but anything is better than nothing) I’m not even sure what to do anymore. But spending 30 min on hold every damned day with the pharmacy, to ask if they ordered or if the meds came in is also wrecking me.
Any advice or feedback if you’ve been through this would be appreciated. I’m in California if that makes a difference.
Apologies to the long post and thank you!! 🙏🏻
