Due to unforeseen circumstances, I’m going to be without psych meds for 3 weeks. This will be the first time I’ve been without them for years. I hope things go well but I fear it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
I do have my diabetes and pain pills though, so it’s not all bad.
Nope, no way to get the meds. My local mental health clinic is going under and it’s become a total mess. Losing doctor, blended case manager, mobile medications, and supportive housing.
Had to move out in a rush. Not even in same county anymore.
We’ve had people here recently get emergency meds from the emergency room, and I think @rowanamethyst was able to get a refill from an urgent care clinic. Are these options?
I’m not sure, I don’t know any services in this area. Not sure they’d just give me meds right off the street with no association to their services. I do have an apt on the 28th, will be able to get meds then for sure.
I bet if you have medications, or a past prescription (recent) with your name on it, and your ID - you might be able to convince them to give you some. Call the local NAMI or equivalent if you’re in a different country. If you’re in Canada - meds are cheaper so they will likely help you, if you’re in Mexico - they are also very cheap there.
Its not like people who don’t need them are going to walk in and ask for antipsychotic medications.
I’m in a different county, not country, but too far away to go back any time soon. The problem is that I had to move asap and never got the rest of my psych meds off the lady who was delivering them to me. So I don’t have a script and since they were filled not long ago I don’t think my insurance will cover another script so soon. I can’t go back and get them. I have a few days of meds left so I’ll try to find samples around here.
Just talked to a woman at the local Mental Health Association. She was, to put it mildly, unhelpful. Even my pessimism pales in comparison to hers. She basically told me I had to go back and get my meds, that nobody is going to just give me meds, and that my insurance won’t cover new scripts.
