> sometimes docs don't put refills on because they want to monitor you and your symptoms, so if you have to see them to get another script it guarantees they can give you the right stuff and not the wrong stuff. sometimes. don't know in your case obviously.
> my history is that i don't have a medical degree and i think i should. i was sick of my husband and mother telling me that i was so negative and i was sick of screaming at my kids (4 & 2)....and i stumbled upon the sarafem ad in o magaizine....went to the website and the rest is history. i visited my internist because i had such bad tension, irritability and couldn't sleep for 5 months or move my neck. i discovered it was from the pmdd.....he suggested prozac because it was cheaper than sarafem per script.....$20 for a 3 month supply of prozac or $20 for 7 pills of sarafem. i took the prozac for a month and it was wonderful....no pms....but sex was the pits....meanwhile, my internist dropped my insurance plan....so when i visited my gyn doc i told him everything .....he mentioned wellbutrin but didn't prescribe it because he said it might keep me up....he wanted me to go on the pill to control the pmdd.....my family has a history of breast cancer so i didn't want to go on the pill....a month later i decided to try the wellbutrin so i had a doc friend call it in for me with 1 refill....so that's where i am now.....trying to get free meds without screwing up the progress i've made (or believe i've made). whew.
> somebody should write you the correct script.> i'm going to call my gyn doc when i'm half way finished the second script. he told me to call him after being on the pill 3 months....it's been 2 so far (and no pill....but he doesn't know that yet).
