I'm glad your pharmacist has respect for you Greg. It sounds great. I don't know any who would be like that here. I"ve had my current pharmacist for 5 years now and she won't even fill a scrip that doesn't have a date printed on it. She calls the doc for confirmation......very uptight. I guess i can't blame her. She's just covering her butt. She knows me well and I think if I asked her for latitude, she'd say "now Tina, you should know I can't do that"
I wish I could find a pdoc. I'm so disenchanted with all docs right now. I called my old gp and the soonest appointment she's got is february. I took it nonetheless. Maybe I'll feel better by then and not need it. Who knows.
Spent most of this past weekend drunk to the hilt. It didn't relax me at all. Made me nervous and anxious but I just kept pouring the stuff down my throat just trying to stop the fear. I drank so much, I really wonder why it didn't help......funny, I can smoke pot and not relax either. I get so anxious and shakey when I smoke pot or drink or try to meditate. Anything that is suppose to relax me just makes me more anxious and aggressive. I guess that's why pdocs give up on me.
I've never really met a pdoc that I could be totally honest with. I'm not comfortable. I always want to please people. To make them like me and this extends to pdocs too. I clam up in their offices. It's kinda hopeless isn't it??> Tina - get to know a friendly pharmacist. Mine will always give me a bit of latitude on the refills. I have talked to him quite a bit about my meds so he knows the story and I think respects my judgement to some extent. And Tina - you need a doc. One you can work with on meds and other things. I am totally honest with my pdoc and have found her to be very helpful. If I tell her that anxiety is crippling me (and I can sympathize with you because anxiety has been my biggest problem)we work to find something to help. If I want meds and she wants a change in my behaviour, we compromise. Give and take.
