Are you positive you received all the information the pharmacy had. I can believe the terminology you state wasn’t there. When I get prescriptions I always get a relatively short bit of information but if I ask for more information I get pages. Did you ask for more information?

Yes, I am sure I got all the info the pharmacy had. The information packet that came with the prescription was about 5 pages long.

Patients should NOT have to ask to get all info It should be provided .

@dianrib
I agree that information should be provided, especially the real important stuff like possible addiction and withdrawal. But truthfully, there are sooooooooooooo much info, it would be impossible to list all things.
However, as patients, we have to be our own advocates.
If addiction or withdrawal is important to you, ask the doctor.
Same thing goes for possible interactions that might occur with other meds.
And of course, allergies.
As I said before, it would be nice to be told without asking, but I really don't think it is possible (except maybe hitting the high points).
Be your own advocate and ask questions.
Bring a list of questions (specific and general) before you go to the doctor. Write down the answers since too much info can be confusing.

Have a nice evening!

why do I get 'duplicates' of older e mails ?

Hi @dianrib,
We are aware of the issue with double messages and are working on a solution. Part of the issue is that Connect has grown too big for our current email server, meaning we have to upgrade. That our community has grown and more people are getting support and help is a good thing. Now our technology has to catch up. 🙂

The new email server should be in place by mid-July and then you will no longer receive duplicate emails. I'm sorry for the annoyance in the meantime.

All the best,
Lisa

Thanks
