Prescriptions during the holiday period

[rose]

Just a reminder that its probably the right time to be making sure you have enough medication to get you through the Christmas/New Year period.
Some people pick up weekly prescriptions, so if your day is going to be a holiday, find out what you need to do instead to get your meds.
I've just realised I've been given two weeks of one of my medications rather than four weeks, and it made me realise I need to order more now.

I hadn't even considered this so thanks for the reminder Rose. Luckily, my gp wants to see me on the 23rd to see how I do with the ami so will get her to do mine then.

Thanks for the reminder but I still have 3 weeks worth at hand thankfully

I don't know how much I have, so many bloomin tablets a day I get through loads of packs, I've got to sit there and count it all up and then divide it by 6 or 4 or 3. LOL. No one told me I'd need maths to manage my depression!

As my pharmacy does my repeats,they just give me a date to come back to pick them up - so I always know when I'll be running out - makes things so much easier!

A good reminder Rose. I get mine weekly on a Friday but last week there was a note with them to say they would do me two weeks worth this Friday.

Brilliant reminder! Thanks Rose!

Thanks rose
I finally managed to speak to the doctors surgery and have asked for a repeat on my ad's and a small set of zopiclone too just in case to cover me over Christmas. (As well as finally sorting my doctors note out after 2 days of trying)

I just picked up my months supply on Friday. That will see me through until around the 11th of January.

I would say if applying for your perscription from Dr's online like I do to pick up from local pharmacy make sure you have your order in before Monday as its normally 48 hours to process so you can make sure they will be at the pharmacy for 23rd December.
