Yeah, I've got a similar prescription, and there have been a few times when I've realized I need a refill right before I'm about to go out of town, and the doctor's not allowed to call in the prescription like he can with anything else. He's got to mail it to me and then I've got to physically bring the piece of paper to the pharmacy.
ION, I am sick of Passover. I'm also considering trying to make eggless matzo balls. I've got a recipe, but I have a different idea about how to make it work that I want to try.

Hil, an e-card for you: [link]
once you're over 18, the chances of your meds being sold on the schoolyard go WAY THE FUCK DOWN.
Right? I rant about it once a month, and *I'm* not even the one taking it.
oh, I've got another reason -- if they dispense it by the month, you have to pay by the month. I was originally prescribed Seasonale, which comes in three month packs, one copay. Insurance co. refused to dispense it because they wanted me to pay every month. fuckers.
I did see your drug post, Steph. I'm waiting (and waiting and waiting) for the advice nurse to call me back. I need to run an errand, and I bet she'll call 30 seconds after I step out of the door.
eta: Thanks!
In other stupid!medical news, my sister recently had bunion surgery (healing nicely, thank you). The doctor prescribed codeine ... which she's violently allergic to. She told them this in advance, but the prescription was for codeine. She asked for a prescription for something that wouldn't, you know, KILL HER ... and it took quite a while before she could get something. (FYI, after surgery, Tylenol just doesn't do it.)
Hubby and I often look at his pile of pain drugs and think "Hm, money for the weekend if we took these bottles by the high school." I think his are all opiods.
No need to fight honey. Age before beauty.
runs VERY VERY VERY FAR AWAY VERY VERY FAST
And since it took me so long to catch up on this, The Empress has fallen victim to her youthful flightiness and run away from the Mike Rowe, leaving him for the older and much more clever and stealthy Connie.
Heh.
*smooch*
I ove the new song they're playing for Discovery Channel. The little bit Mike sings melts me EVERY TIME.
It's because it's amphetamine, and having refills on it could lead you to selling your pharmaceutical-grade speed to high-school students.
No, that really IS the reasoning behind only prescribing one month at a time, and it's fucking ridiculous.
Well, my niece (who just died at 20 after years of battling addiction) started doing drugs with Adderall she got it from someone out of college, so I am all for them being a pain in the ass to stockpile for people of all ages. I know she likely would have slipped into addiction no matter what, but maybe it would have been later than 14, you know? And then maybe she'd still be here.
Oh, Daisy, I'm so sorry to hear about Bo. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he flummoxes all the doctors and things take a turn for the better.
If not, I just send hugs. {{Daisy and family}}
