Meds Scenario and their consequences

[lostmyway]

hi all

Its funny when bank holidays come along and i forget to renew my prescription again.  I have been without my cipralex for 3 days and my head is banging again, with increased levels of anxiety etc as i would normally expect.  I wish i didnt have to take the things if i was honest.  So it will be 4 days without.  They only supply 1 box which to be honest isnt enough.  It's no fun feeling the way I do now, and have nobody to get me out of it again, but here i am putting on a happyface for the sake of it.  Christmas came and went, my mother didnt even bother to putup a tree, wasnt really interested.  And now i face 2014 with the same uncertainty and everything else going thru my mind.  I hope it gets better oneday.

I've had issues with my prescription since we moved and my short term memory isn't great so It's been a bit of a nightmare remembering to get repeats even though the problem with my medication did get sorted out before Christmas. I needed to get my repeat today so I am thankful I remembered.  I do understand how you feel though.

Hi Pip

Thanks for the reply.  I refilled the meds and am okay, but it seems i never want to go out anywhere, but that's partly because i am on my todd most of the time.  I seem to be either on this PC or watching TV thesedays.  I am pretty introverted in all honesty, its just in me how I am.

Whoever says being without a job is a lifestyle choice needs their backsides kicking. Fun it aint.  Who would choose to live like that? Not me.

Your local pharmacy should offer a repeat prescription service where they order them for you each month to prevent you forgetting or running out.  Plus if a bank holiday clashes with when your meds are due they should bring the due date forward.
