without meds for the weekend?

I was running late for work a few days ago and asked my boyfriend as I was getting ready to leave to call in a refill for my anxiety meds, which he's done before, and it's never been a problem. I didn't have refills, (they don't come with them, I have to have the pharm. fax the dr. every month).

Before I left the apartment I asked him if he did (he was playing a video game) and he said, yup.....they said they'll fax the dr.

I waited 2 days then b4 work 2day I was gonna pick them up. They aren't there, so I call the dr. office, who says they never got a fax, but they would make sure the dr. was told of this issue before she left for the day. I call the pharmacy again, and there is no word. I ask them to fax the dr. office again. They say ok, they will. So a couple of hrs later, (after calling into work sick, which I am) I go to the pharmacy to get them and they still don't have a fax.

I checked my boyfriends cell (which he left for me today, I don't have minutes on mine) call history. It goes back 3 weeks. There is no call dialed out to the pharmacy. But every other call I know we've made (or don't know or care about) is there.

I know he said he did, then forgot. Then lied. Long story. He's been a compulsive liar and screwing me over for a long time. (different story) Last week he lied to me about how he got fired from work, then yelled at me because his lie didn't make sense. I know he lied because he confessed about what happened. Don't know why I had to add all that in there......

But I've gone cold turkey for days without these pills. It's only 2 mg's and I don't abuse them, but I go through withdrawal anyways. It's hell. Does anyone know how to get through this withdrawal for 3 days? (besides alcohol)? (and besides any illegal drugs?)

    Call the doctor's office, listen through the entire recording. At the end will be the doctor's emergency number. You call that now. It will be a Medical Exchange, not the doctor usually. You will get your own doctor or you will get your doctor's partner. Then you tell that doctor your situation, have your Pharmacy's telephone number handy.

    There is nothing available without prescription that will substitute for this.

    Ranitidine is obtainable the two over the counter and on prescription, so if that's what you have then you definately can purchase some interior the drugstore. yet whilst that's a PPI which you're taking (Omeprazole, Lansoprazole etc.), they're in uncomplicated terms obtainable on prescription. If I have been you, i might get some Ranitidine or most of the anti-reflux drinks to tide you over for right here couple of days.

    In addition to what Mildred said, dropping meds cold turkey like that can be dangerous to you. Take care of this now- and next time, don't trust anyone else to take care of your meds for you.

    Best of luck.
