    I can't get my Ativan until the 16th. Saturday...
    So I have to make my Ativan I have now last. I'm taking two daily until Friday where I will only have one to take.

    The pharmacy won't give them to me earlier because my Doc gave me a 30 day supply. I took an extra one a couple times.

    I've been doing relatively good with the limited meds, I'm not as nervous and on edge as I thought I would be.

    Luckily I have plenty of Risperdal for my schizophrenia. Otherwise I'd really be screwed.

    Well there is my little rant.

    That sucks. That's weird the pharmacy won't refill your script early. I think my insurance allows me to get my scripts filled between 5-7 days early.

    Good luck til then!

    Peace and love

    Thanks for your reply HippieChick,

    I guess my pharmacy just sucks.

    I need to start taking one Ativan daily after today.

    Peace.

    god healthcare systems suck

    can you explain to your doctor or a resident
    psych, anyone?

    surely, if you explained you took a few extra
    i have done it with valium and the docs have been ok

    must admit, it can be a fuck around
    do you have a general doctor you can see

    btw, risperadal is such a horror drug
    i admire anyone who maintains their dose

    what can i say, breathe

    Hello.

    The Ativan crisis has indeed passed. I made it through alright. However, it seems my psychiatrist went and prescribed me a lower dosage of Risperdal. Amazingly I'm feeling okay. But, I'd rather have my usual 2 milligrams.
    So to update I'm feeling good, not quite normal like I wish I could feel, but not mad either.

    Thanks for the replies.
