away from me. It is even later tonight than it was last night when I finally got to posting. I had every intention of regaling you with all the exciting things I experienced today. Or something like that.
I will tell ya' this one, though. As I have perhaps mentioned before, I have a bit of stress in my life. Did you know depression runs deep and strong in my family? It's my dad's fault, of couse, but we won't go into that now. The point is I am well medicated. I try to keep ahead of things, making sure I have my fills re-'d before I run out, expecially of the mood-influencing meds.
About 18 months ago I ran out of Cymbalta. It was over the 4th of July holiday weekend. I went unmedicated for 4 days, if I recall. Superman had gone out of town to visit his folks, leaving me here with the whole crowd of hooligans. I lost it. Cried all weekend. Made pathetic mournful calls to the poor man begging him to come home, sobbing almost uncontrollably. I got poor ol' C's shoulders good and wet. Only later did my doctor inform me that I had experienced typical withdrawal symptoms from the Cymbalta. I vowed to keep current with my refills!
Back to this weekend... I called in the refill to the pharmacy in time. What I failed to notice was that I had no refills left on that perscription. They had to call the doctor to OK the refill. Unfortunately it was late on Wednesday that I called it in, and of course the office was closed for Thanksgiving until today. I took the last capsule in that bottle on Saturday. No Cymbalta yesterday (Sunday). None this morning, either. When I went to get it late this morning the pharmacy still hadn't heard from the doctor's office. blah blah blah. I finally got the new bottle at 7:00 tonight. I managed to keep my sh!t together through the last two days. This morning my brain started drifting into the danger zone, but I recognized it for the unmedicated mess it was and backed away from those thoughts. I'm pretty proud of myself for that, really!
There is so much more to say, blathering on, yada yada about this and that. Warning: I tend to ramble when I get tired. But I'm going to shut 'er down and go to sleep now. HOPEFULLY I will get back here in time tomorrow to go into some topics I'd like to explore.

our drug store will front me pills if the dr doesn't renew the rx before i run out. they've done it a few times now. however, like you i try to make sure that i'm up to date. i wish that i could get them like i get my thyroid meds at 100 at a time (which of course, last for 100 days) and get enough antidepressants to last for more than one month and with more than 2 refills per script.
nertz
i'm glad you were able to get through the weekend. withdrawal from the sri's sucks.
