Vyvanse repeat and unreliable psych

[u/Timeformoresleep]

I’ve come to the end of my first script for Vyvanse but my next appointment isn’t for a few weeks. I had a few days worth and emailed the psych office on Saturday.

Monday

After non response I called them at the end of the day. They explained they had been back and forward with my GP to send though some test results and would figure out if they need to give me a script with just enough to get to the next appointment or some other arrangement. My psych was also not working that day but they’d had correspondence with him regardless. Everything will be sorted in the morning

Tuesday Nothing. I call at around 1pm. He is going to send through an escript.

Wednesday (last tablet)

I call in the afternoon. We’ll follow up with him re escript.

Thursday (no meds day 1)

I call in the morning. Oh. I’ll follow up with him.

I come home from work early feeling headache and generally weird in the head.

I call in the afternoon. Receptions says. You’ll know before I do because you’ll get the script. She sounded annoyed and said all she can do is send another email reminder. I think she was annoyed more at him for not doing it after so many follow ups but it also felt like she was annoyed with me.

Friday. (Day 2 no meds)

So here we are. No script. I’m so annoyed. Not only is the trust broken with my psych, but how hard is it to take 5 minutes to do shit? I asked in the email if my GP can prescribe as it’s easier to get an appointment with them to avoid this exact situation. Last two days my anxiety has skyrocketed, because of the meds? Maybe. But more because I can’t trust my psych to perform a simple task or at the very least communicate with me. How am I supposed to continue our relationship? I’m now at a point where I either email my sentiments above and try to move past it assuming the script comes though or email my real thoughts being I can no longer trust you as a psych knowing your patients background and becoming the cause of the very thing they came to you for help with. Problem is there aren’t many other psych options near me.

Anyway. I’ll prob give them one last Call this morning. I know it’s not the receptionists fault and I’m not the kind of person to be confrontational. Not that I’d be yelling or anything.

But this needs to happen today.

Wish me luck

Edit. Finally got script today.

So you've tried to reach them 4 or 5 times to get a prescription filled?

It's on them for not sending it, but your constant calls might look a bit suspicious. Give it a bit of air:)

Unfortunately you're going to continue getting this treatment because any time you contact them about your Rx before the refill appointment is assumed you're abusing it.

I had a similar situation happen to me except my Psychiatrist emailed and called to lecture me.

Ah. In this case I was prescribed it before Xmas. Didn’t actually start taking it till about a month later while waiting for heart scan test results. I did have an appointment with psych that we cancelled since at that stage it had only been one week that I’d been on the meds.

[u/Timeformoresleep → u/StreetCryptographer3]

Bit rough. Hope it wasn’t a made you feel like shit lecture.

[u/StreetCryptographer3 → u/Timeformoresleep]

It definitely was. The worst part is that she's a hot Asian woman. But that didn't help blocking it out.
