Yes! Having a new, increased sharp pain in the left side of my mid-spine, like a knife diging in. Struggling to find anything to help. Made an appointment with pain management tomorrow.
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

I did.

BUT!!!
I have about a year supply of one, almost as much of another and months of one other, but ONE of them I am almost out of and yet no further notices from the pharmacy to pick up a new prescription and no further prescriptions available.

Fuck it! it is only my thyroid medication, after all.

For some reason they have massively fucked up three of them in quantity and forgot to keep the other one going.

Last time I called the doctor's office and spoke with his "assistant" I was told that there was no problem with my prescriptions.

I asked if I brought all my pills over maybe they would take a look and help. Nope.  I was given the number of a state sponsored disposal facility, if I have left over pills.

Stupid fucking people. I know that doctors AND most especially bastard pharmacists are only out to maximize my insurance claims so that they get rich more quickly.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Just about to take night meds. It's the last of the haloperidol so I'd better make a trip to the chemist tomorrow.

What happens if you don't? And how fast does it happen?

I've come off haloperidol once before and it was unpleasant. Felt like I was going to be sick all the time. That effect lasted for a week.

I have my scripts in my bag now so I won't forget.

I didn't forget, took new haloperidol last night along with the other meds. No trouble at all. Nexium is the next one to run out, will get that on Sunday.

I took mine. A bit late, but all good, now.

Nearly forgot my lunchtime meds. I was at the Salvos so I wasn't thinking about medication!

This was yesterday, but I completely forgot my morning meds. Also forgot about packing my lunchtime meds. It was a very ADHD day.
