Why prescribe something new to treat the symptoms of withdrawals from a psychotropic medication instead of ensuring you don’t experience withdrawl in the first place? What’s going on that you’re consistently unable to maintain a supply of your meds?

It's not to treat symptoms, it was a new medication that is basically the same thing as venlafaxine but with fewer symptoms. He never really suggests anything just says, "well that's weird, what do you want to do about it?" even when I collapsed last month.

I don't get a steady supply because the pharmacy keeps telling me the insurance needs approval from the psychiatrist and they always take a few days to do it instead of just approving it when they order my prescription.

This time the pharmacy lied to me and said they could override it, showed me a bottle of my prescription when I went to pick it up and told me they can't override it, then Weber Human Services told me they don't have the right brand and I have to get it from a different pharmacy.

It also didn't help that I scheduled a phone appointment last Tuesday ahead of time because I'm so used to this happening, but instead of doing it over the phone they scheduled it in person. So I rescheduled a phone appointment on Thursday and they scheduled it in person again. So I scheduled it for this Monday, after I'd be running out and made sure they put in the notes that it's an over the phone appointment.

Jesus, this has been years of them dicking you around now. What a useless system. My psychiatrist approves my scripts for 3 months at a time to avoid running out, after I had trouble with the pharmacy forcing me to get emergency supplies from the ER all the time due to their own internal communication issues. Is that something you could ask for? Don’t wait for the doc to be proactive on your behalf, in my experience they love when you do the problem solving for them and all they need to do is sign off on it.

If all else fails I’ll ****ing mail you my extras because these meds are only effective with consistent long term use.

These issues only started happening after moving to Ogden, and ironically they were talking **** on Valley Behavioral when I first transfered.

I usually do 3 months but because of them not working like they used to it's been a month at a time as I try new things.

As of now, thanks to upgrading the Pristiq I'm now getting strong side effects because I went almost a week without.

Im pretty sure playing stop and go with my medication like this isn't good for me.

My shoulder is completely f*cked. No idea what happened. Reached for something like normal and now it's been on fire for days.

Somehow managed a doctors appointment after calling yesterday. Really hoping it's just a muscle pull and not a tear.

An update on my career search for anyone following my saga.

Next week is my final unemployment appointment. They said they're not going to grant me the standard 26 weeks of benefits and instead will hand me the first job they Google and if I don't accept it it counts as my refusing to work and they'll cancel my benefits. I'm hoping my anxiety and panic aren't exacerbated by the job they hand me.

And my career counselor screwed up yet again and said she forgot to request a required document back in early February when I qualified for the IT apprenticeship, delaying the process for over six weeks and counting while my unemployment benefits are rapidly expiring.

I did the work for her and tracked down the document from the apprenticeship organization, but noticed that they just changed the cost of their program to almost three times the price. This may delay the federal grant approval even further. I've reached out to them for clarification to hopefully have this resolved soon.

There is good news. I applied to a warm lead for a government job back in January. They just got back to me and I had a phone interview this morning. A friend of mine works there doing the very job he referred me to saying he was confident I would excel there.

The supervisor I spoke with said I did excellent, said I have an incredibly professional and calming phone voice, and said I am likely qualified for much higher-paying positions at the organization. He said I should receive an email or call from their out of state HR department and if approved can start in as soon as 6-12 weeks. I aced the interview!

And as it is a government job, the listed benefits absolutely blew my mind. I had never seen anything like them, and it vanquished my fears of not being able to take a day off here or there throughout the year to see my girlfriend in Canada if I’m able to secure and keep the job.

Benefits would include:

- 13 to 26 days of paid annual leave
- an additional 13 sick days annually, with unlimited accumulation
- an additional 11 paid federal holidays
- Work-from-home options
- Comprehensive federal health insurance for life
- Up to 75% of health premiums paid
- Flexible savings accounts to pay for health care expenses, tax-free
- Eligible for monthly retirement benefits after just 5 years of federal service
- Supplement your retirement with the tax-deferred Thrift Savings Plan, similar to a 401(k)
- Regular performance-based increases and accelerated increases for outstanding performance

and more!

The unparalleled health insurance alone makes it worthwhile for my routine health expenses. And in my first year I'd have more than 5 weeks of paid vacation time between PTO and sick days. And I'd be all set for early retirement.

Unfortunately another property of it being a government job is that it takes 6-12 weeks for their HR department to make a hiring decision. My benefits are scheduled for early-termination next week. I'm not sure what I'm going to do but I hope they hire me soon.

I was told to check my spam folder daily for the next 3 months.

Wish me luck.

depending on the job that unemployment finds for you maybe work there temporarily so that you can put food on your table until the government job comes through since it will take awhile.
