Mine requires one every 3 months

like

In general this is required of any controlled substance.

Mine is every two months for adderall. So she will write it for the current month and then one with a do not fill until date on it for the next month. Its much better than every single month for sure.

I did require regular appointments, and paper scripts. Because I’m nomadic and insurance keeps changing -this became too difficult so it is one reason I cut out the meds. I really miss them some days but find it very difficult to keep finding new docs -

Mine requires every three months but we did every month until we found the right dosage. I have a very long standing relationship with my psychiatrist (5+ years) and I’d been seeing him 2 years when I asked for the meds and he assessed me.

Some doctors are very risk adverse and want to see a patient every month because it’s a controlled substance and they can get dinged if they’re accused of overprescribing.

Yeah I’ve taken the same prescription for 13 years so as long as we aren’t changing my doctor is fine with me barely seeing him lol

Idk if my doc is just really chill but I’ve always been able to send a message on mychart saying I need a prescription refill and it’s auto sent to my pharmacy, don’t need to physically be seen. I get maybe 2 refills a year for a 30 day supply though I only take it very sparingly

Generally, they give out 30 supplies at a time, so it depends on how frequently you need the refill. In some states, they require a meeting every time.

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)

Anyone else heard of this/tried it?

Is genetic carrier screening prior to starting an ivf cycle necessary? I tested and found some disorders. Now my RE won’t start my cycle until my partner is tested. They are saying they will have to do special PGT tests if we are carriers of the same disorder. I am confused. I thought this type of testing was optional and usually recommended if you are using a donor. My guess is that they are booked and pushing me to the Jan cycle. Thoughts?
