Still no response to my telephone message of last week so before leaving another message or sending her an email, I made a quick call to the pharmacy and was told, lo and behold, that the prescription was called in last Friday, presumably after my message to her. I last checked with the pharmacist Friday AM so it had to have come in at some point after that.
It will be interesting to see what the dosage on the prescription is when I get there to pick it up since I told her in my voice mail message that I wanted to taper down. I'm sure it's just the same prescription as before.
I'm thinking that a simple phone message letting me know that she had called the prescription in might have saved me a lot of over-the-weekend worry and emotional wear and tear about whether there was a problem with stopping abruptly (not to mention thinking about why she was non-responsive). The pharmacy sent her a request for a refill early last week and I had checked with the pharmacy twice during the week before I left a message on her answering machine. Apparently her assumption was that I would just keep checking daily so that there was no reason to let me know.
I'm sure I'm overreacting,and she'll have some explanation, but it's hard not to feel like I've been jerked around, and that I've been put through an emotional wringer which was so unnecessary.
I'm still going to need to speak with her about working my way off this meiication and the 2 others she prescribes as well, but I have no interest in speaking with her until I calm down.
Thanks so much for all your support. What a wonderful resource you've been!
