How? Did yoou request a repeat and they didn't refil and didn't notify you? If so, can ypu arrange to pick up future repeats a week or two earlier, so if they fuck up you still have meds while they sort it out?

Ordered meds over 2 weeks ago, my meds are in transit. Until then I have to wait or go to a private provider. They do this to me every few months. arrgghh

SO frustrating! Do you have a local pharmacy where you're known, where they might spot you a few days' meds? Or a local provider who will write a short script? I hope you can work it out. Sorry to hear this.

:in transit"? Tits. can you get them to agree to ordering while you still have a month left? How many months do you get at once?

Some of the meds are a 90 day supply. The others are every 30 days. Running out of meds is just part of being an OIF/OEF Veteran. I think we have really flooded the system. The running out of psych meds is what is rough. If I don't have some by Monday, I'll head to a local provider. That kinda sucks because it is out of pocket and I'm still unemployed (except for National Guard).

Depending on what they are, your provider or pharmacist can give you a number to call at the pharm company - some of the expensive ones can be had at a deep discount in certain situations. Don't delay getting to a provider, running out of meds is rough for sure. Good luck.

^She sounds like she knows what she's talking about to me. Get aggressive about getting what you need without getting a second mortgage on your sole.

FFS, VA, get it together.
Do soldiers in the field need to go through this shit waiting for ammunition resupply? I bloody hope not. Yet getting some pills to some guy living stateside is harder than getting a few hundred kilos of ammo to Backwater Base in Fubaristan. *snorts in disgust*

What all of them said, PLUS, tell them that "I've found I can kill again and it doesn't phase me."

I figured it was some sort of Brit expression I'd missed while growing up. Sole as in "underfoot?"

One of you should have done '*f aze' if we're on a spelling thing.
