My pharmacy ran out of Phenobarbital So it wasn’t included in the packets that I receive in December. I just get the packets rip them open and dump them in my mouth and it’s foolishly I didn’t even check to see if everything was in there. I went to the lab to have my levels checked and my Phenobarbital was low, So now they’re saying I’m not compliant taking my medicine which means I won’t qualify to have my drivers license returned until late August. So it won’t be until sometime in September when I get it if I am approved. Oh well, not being able to drive is a major pain. Thank goodness for Uber and lift and being able to get my groceries delivered really helps.

@jakedduck1 I know how much you were looking forward to having your license back. Can you appeal this newest condition at the DMV, providing proof to them that you would have taken the meds if you had them, providing them the list of meds included [and showing what wasn't there]? Didn't the pharmacy ever tell you they had not filled that part of the Rx and then supply you when it came in?

@jakedduck I too wonder as @gingerw does, didn't the pharmacy put a notification in your refills that they were lacking one of your drugs? This seems so wrong to me. I know many people have to be weaned off of phenobarbital and so that could have caused them a real problem. The pharmacy should have managed to find that drug somehow, and if they couldn't get it to you with the original shipment it should have been forthcoming immediately after. Frankly, with an error like that, I would change pharmacies.

@jakedduck1 What an awful mistake for your pharmacy to make! So you went 1+ months without phenobarbital? Do all the pills come in 1 package or in separate ones? Can you make a formal, written complaint? But, I’m glad to see that you’re looking on the positive side! Got any candy?!

@jakedduck1 When we cant drive or like you waiting to see, transportation makes it easy you let the driving to them ,no insurance registration or gas to worry about . Im use to not having a car . You just have to plan your trips better and get all with one or two trips. I like groceries delivered and now meds also . It is an adjustment but at some point we all have to make this
