No, I did reluctantly pick up the new prescriptions that were written (Ritalin LA, Provigil, Lunesta, Xanax XR). I considered not picking them up, since I've basically decided I no longer have a physician, but decided I needed the first 2 in order to stay awake and do my coursework.
The odd thing I noticed is that the Provigil was written without refills. So, that would mean me calling again next month (since he doesn't realize I've decided not to be his patient anymore). Usually they only leave no refills if there is a recheck scheduled. It seems to me like something has gone wrong in my process.
My biggest concern with not having a doctor is that I can't breath/function without Flonase. I could buy OTC Claritin instead of the Clarinex I'm prescribed (none of the newer antihistamines help anyway, I'm allergic to life). I could buy OTC acne medication instead of the antibiotic ointment, prescription pads and cream I'm prescribed. I could buy any OTC sleeping med. I could down caffeinated drinks like crazy instead of Ritalin and Provigil (but I already do, so I'd have to drink the really potent ones, which make me sick).
I'm supposed to have a physical for college too. I'll figure that one out later.
