Thanks @TAB , I hope you have a good day too, or just a day (that's fine aswell).
I'm feeling a little better after seeing my Psychiatrist like I mentioned in my thread but at the same time I'm also anxious wondering how I'll get this prescription. GP said she has to wait for my Psychiatrist to do my report to her which should be done soon (I read them on the Telehealth website on my file) which is understandable I guess.
Then she said she'll fax it to my local chemist rather than me pick it up, they offer a repeat prescription thing there that you can fill it out online then pick it up at the clinic but I'm not sure that would work since I've never had these new meds. And the old clinic probably wouldn't prescribe them for me and i've been treated like crap there mostly.
I can ask my Psychiatrist to send them in the mail but he's in Sydney and I'm in Victoria so it takes a couple days in the mail but that's fine, he's happy to do it. Then I went to the chemist to get my prescription for the meds I'm on now but the lower dosage because my Psychiatrist said take them for a week to ease me into the new ones.
I told the chemist to expect a fax, what for and who from, and they looked confused even when I told them about the meds, the actual pharmacist that is. I asked them if they recieve it please let me know. Then he asked if my Psychiatrist is going to send the prescriptions to me and to them (an actual paper copy not a fax), I said I don't know.
Ugh everyone in this town makes things so hard for me and don't do their jobs, I'm anxious and I don't know what to do. I see my Psychiatrist again on the 30th so I could ask him if I can keep taking the low dosage until I see him but I don't know, he said a week but I guess thats about the same. I'm anxious, why can't I just get the script? I wasn't lying or trying to get meds for the sake of it to the GP. Ugh.
Sorry for rambling and venting, I'll probably post it in my other thread too.
