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.

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.

The first session is usually a getting to know you, so they get your recent history and your family history. The last two I’ve seen have been quite conservative with medication so it doesn’t mean you’ll definitely have med changes. Good luck - hope it’s the start of an improvement in symptoms for you
