On a good note it is at least working some. Bad note is I have to get weekly blood draws and then the pharmacy has to be faxed before they will give me a weeks worth of meds. The lab is behind with the results so the pharmacy is going to be 4 days late with my meds. It is so frustrating how so many things have to come together perfectly so I can stay on schedule.

Just remember the early part sucks but it is over in 6 months and that isn't too long. I honestly don't even remember the weekly blood draws at all. I did get lucky and had a pharmacy that messed up and gave me a month's worth of meds at a time when it should have been weekly. I didn't say anything because it saved me a lot of money but it shouldn't have been that way.
You'll get through this part and be on monthly labs before you know it. One thing that helps me is my pdoc prescribes 350-400 mg daily. I nearly always am on 350 but go to 400 if my mood goes up or mixed. Having the script written like that lets me build up a supply so if the pharmacy or lab screw up I have enough pills to keep me going for a few days until they figure it out. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
