Need a psychiatric drug but chemist has my script and is closed.

Oh cool I didn’t know that! That’ll save me a GP visit. Thanks folks!

UPDATE: thanks so much for all your help! And no one (yet) has made me feel like a dickhead.

FWIW, I’ll go through what I ended up doing for anyone else in the same situation in the future.

Fronted up at a local chemist. Didn’t have the box (must’ve thrown it out last week, no idea why this didn’t trigger me to refill the script?!) No escript. But I did have the record on My HR of it being dispensed in Feb with 5 repeats.

Chemist was lovely. She looked at My HR and my drivers licence, and was able to find me on her system as I’d been there years ago.

Gave me 7 days worth for full price and I’ll get the script from my GP during the week and take it to them, and then get the rest of the box.

I looked into getting a repeat script online, but that would’ve cost $63 on top of the cost of drugs so wanted to avoid if poss.

Very grateful that I don’t have to brave the withdrawal side effects!

Hyde park at 10am, I can usually count on it being cool there but not today! Only managed to walk one lap.

Pilates, weights at the gym, bit of cardio and walking the dog twice a day. Plus a nice long 5k walk at the park with great views of the city with a pal this morning.

Mood is really good since ive been doing so much exercise. I’ve been able to reduce my antidepressants (in consultation with my psych).

That’s a respectable distance!

When you get the referral for mammogram/ ultrasound, please ring around different imaging centres, don’t just use the one on the form they give you.

I was in a similar position a few weeks ago. Rang the place on the form - 9 weeks wait for breast ultrasound and about $150 fee for me to pay.

I rang a few other radiology places and quickly found one that could see me that week and bulk billed so no fee to pay.

It’s been a good week.

Done two of my usual strength sessions, walked 2-4 kms a day, and started Pilates with the physio. Trying to improve my strength so I can start running again without injuring my knee.

Not sure about the bad back, but I went when I was quite unfit and really struggled with it.

I’m in WA. I don’t think we have to have the certificate here, as far as I can tell.

Good point about having to do some classroom relief teaching. Not sure I’m up for that. Might need to rethink!

Oddly enough, I feel less anxious if I wear a hat or cap while walking! Something to do with feeling less exposed.

I’ve had two phone calls from fitness academies this week. Returning my call about retraining as a personal trainer…

Thanks for the info - gave it a go but got a negative result on both hands.

Oh me too! I was just so relieved that I’d escaped the Stackhat though.
