Hi @buckwild, I'd like to add my welcome. I think you're wise to get tips on using the Mayo Clinic portal from fellow members here. @johnbishop has given a few tips that may help.

I use my doctor’s portal. I just leave my message then by 4:00 that day I get a new prescription if needed or an increase in dosage.
I am not charged yet for the service.
I understand that Mayo may charge a fee for using the portal for various purposes. This is new information that I didn’t know about.
I will keep my PCP portal as it’s still free so far. They call me regarding my submission within 3 hours and any new prescriptions are filed from my Doctor directly to my delivered medication as he orders it from his laptop and by 4-4:30 my meds are delivered straight to my office.
I was on 300 mg of Wellbutrin XL in the morning and he upped it to 450 mg mornings. I just started today so I will wait until it starts working before I message or see him in person if the increased dose has bad side affects.
It shouldn’t because I took the GeneSight DNA test and Wellbutrin is considered ok for me. We’ll see.
