i wish that i could find a pharmacy where they cared about people having severe pain. It's so difficult, having a dissociative disorder doesn't help any. People don't understand and it's so hard for me to function.
It's been a week now and i'm almost out of medicine now- i have just one more dose for the night- due about 2am if i can't sleep a little bit through until 4am or so- of the oval-shaped tablets that release too quickly- too much medicine for two hrs then at the end of the eight hrs i'm in terrible pain.
whenever i'm overwhelmed i can't do anything. i wanted to go to the pharmacy and just get it anyways because there's nothing else i can do now- it's too late to get another prescription, i may as well try to manage with this bad medicine, pick up the rest of it. It makes managing life, sleep so much harder when i take this medicine.
i didn't go though. It's too scary going at night and the pharmacist upset me so much on the phone, saying she would get round tabs in and then not getting it. i couldn't face the situation. She talks as if i can just stop taking it- like my pain isn't real - and wait another day again. She didn't even promise it tomorrow. i will be out at 2 am, how can i wait?
tears. i was crying on the phone, the people there don't care about me at all.
It's so complicated- so many rules with pain meds- the pharmacy people put me in an impossibly bad place and i can't do anything about it. They made me pay in advance and now are not correcting the medicine and i can't go anywhere else, no one can help me, make them give medicine on time.
It's so unfair, so unethical and uncaring of them. i'm so upset, i struggle to try to work, now i'll have to be there at the pharmacy instead, in pain, first thing in the morning. i can't handle it at all. i don't even know if the will have the bad medicine. why don't they know that i can't miss a dose?Is there any agency to even complain to? Why is it lawful for them to mess up my medicine like this, talking to me as if i'm the one giving them a problem? Is there anyone that can help?
Thanks anyone for any ideas, any help.
