What to do if I run out of bupropion?

@adenosin welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That is concerning to hear of your potential shortage of your medication. I would continue trying to contact your psychiatrist for the prescription. Could you ask about refill options versus a new prescription? Sometimes “scheduled meds” can only be refilled at certain intervals. Sometimes the pharmacy and insurance terminology is confusing. You can also contact the pharmacy directly and explain the situation. They may be better able to get a response from your Dr. Whatever you do I would not alter or skip any doses. In the worst case scenario you could go to the hospital and explain the situation that you are running out of your prescription and not getting a response from your Dr. But in the mean time keep calling to ask. Could you do that?

Cheryl, thank you very much for your answer. I will keep trying to contact my psychiatrist. I have already asked in some pharmacies about options, they are not able to provide an emergency refill neither to contact my psychiatrist, but it seems that it is possible to go to the hospital to get some help whit this. I think you are correct about not skipping the doses, so I will keep the usual dose. I am hoping for the best.
