. . . well most of them anyway. I was expecting the copays for 7 scripts to be $35. I about fell out of my car when the pharmacist told me it was $75 for 5. It wasn't until I got back here to the apartment I saw that she had written some of them for 90 days and some just for a month. As I was combining the contents of bottles to condense everything I noticed that she didn't call in naltrexone or cyclobenzaprine so I have to follow up with that because the naltrexone is really helping me. Anyway I mentioned in my last post that I hauled ass out of work as soon as the bell rang. I literally yelled to my students "last one shut the door!" By contract we are supposed to stay in the building until 1:50 but most people bolt right away. Why was I in such a rush to get to CVS? Because the pharmacy closes each day from 2-2:30pm so the staff can have a lunch. I was on the parkway at 1:50 and hit traffic. I could feel my BP rising. I *just* got to CVS at 1:55 and they already had the gate down. I decided to try the drive through pick up and saw that there were a few cars in line. By that point it was after 2 so I figured they would tell us to go away and come back later. Nope. I got to the window at 2:10. That's when I saw a sign saying that they close from 1:30-2pm. Good to know because doing the Mad Medication Dash was not fun.

Oh, my. Sounds like a race for sure. Glad you got them, but be careful on these Mad Medication Dash Days!

I like it when my doctor calls in three months at a time so I don’t have to depend on them to refill them all on time each month.I know it seems like a lot, but $75 for five prescriptions is really appealing. That being said, if I expected only $35, I would have been very disappointed even if I understood the cause.

Glad you got your meds, and I hope you get those that you need refilled.

That would really stress me out - having to hurry through traffic to make a deadline.

Ugh, that sounds like such a stressful afternoon, and the copay shock on top of it is rough. Glad you got most of it sorted though. Hope the pharmacy gets the naltrexone figured out fast since it's helping you.
