[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 391410, member: 1233"] I take medications that have to follow some complicated federal and state rules as far as the rx is written, and it must be written every month, refills are not allowed. If you get a rx that is written so that it is accepted, ask the pharmacy to copy it for you so that you can make sure the doctor writes it out correctly in the future. I have to have not just ONE diagnosis code, but 2 or 3, depending on which rx it is, plus some other info from the doctor that is not normally printed on his rx forms. Luckily this doctor does all rx's by computer instead of handwriting them, so once I got it set up in the computer it wasn't a big deal, but before that I had to hassle with either driving 90 min each way or mailing the rx back and having them receive it and then print an new one and sending that to me by mail, either of which was a hassle and days with-o medications that do come with heavy withdrawal issues. If you can, scan the rx into your computer before you take it to the pharmacy so that you have a picture of what it needs and can take it to the doctor to show what you want. Otherwise, have the pharmacy figure out what needs to be on it and get a copy of it from them or have them list everything that must be on it so that you can take that to the doctor with you each time. It is a hassle to figure out at first, but it beats going through the hassle each time. I even had the doctor's secretary write my diagnosis codes and teh other #s on a post it one month and then kept that post it so I had it if they forgot to put it on any future rx's. She is a real trooper about going ahead with the zyprexa for a couple of days. I hope the docs can all get it sorted out and you can find docs that are more responsive and responsible. there is little point to staying with a doctor who isn't getting the job done, in my opinion.
