So I emailed them last week with 5 pills left from my prescription. Apparently I had missed an appointment, with no phone phone call, voice mail, or email reminder. I've been a patient here for years.
Today, I have 1 pill left, call to find out why I haven't received a response of any kind, the lady that answered the phone (maybe a nurse with a West Indian accent) was super rude to me. She screamed that she couldn't hear me and when I started to speak "Standard English" she could suddenly "barely hear me", but could hear me enough to tell me that my prescription can't be refilled and that I would have to wait two days for an appointment.
My prescription medication when stopped cold turkey can cause anxiety, sleep problems, and even psychosis. When she read on the computer what I was on, she said it like she was saying a dirty word, without knowing anything about me. No offers to contact one of the "providers" on my behalf knowing what withdrawal symptoms are like, no offer to request an emergency supply until I can speak with a provider. Just, "you can call if there's a cancelation" Granted It was my fault for missing my appointment, but to play fast and loose with someone's mental health, that's uncool.
Now, I've been able to withstand the negative side effects of withdrawal before, but it was horrible. I hope I can do the same this time, but to be spoken to, like a child and yelled at, that's not cool.
