Always giving me off brand.
So this has been going on for about 4 years now.
Backstory: I started birth control 7 years ago with Blisovi. My hair immediately started to fall out, my face was breaking out insanely, and i was an emotional wreck. I then switched BC brands and all was fine.
4 years ago i started being an emotional wreck again but didn’t think anything of it until I noticed after two months Walgreens had given me blisovi. I then spoke to my OBGYN and they put a note stating i could not take blisovi. It has now been a battle for 4 years, multiple confirmations from my doc and pharmacists that the note is in my file but they CONTINUE to keep trying to give me blisovi. It got so bad that i started just sucking it up and taking it bc it was more of a hassle to get the pharmacy to change it than anything (multiple different pharmacy locations and companies). Literally to the point it would take 2-3 weeks of back and fourth (them saying oh ya we see the note we’ll fix it and then literally try and fill Blisovi again right after i just said that needed to be changed). So a year ago i caused a scene (i normally wouldn’t but i was so over their lack of attention to this problem) and since then they have given me other brands (this is totally fine Blisovi is the only one I have problems with). I just had my annual OBGYN appt and here we go again they are trying to fill with Blisovi (my doc has confirmed the note is still in my file and they prescribed Junel). Idek but this has been and is still ridiculous. I feel like I am out of options and have to keep dealing with this until i decide to get off BC.
Edit: i was nice for 4 years. I have made it known it can legit be any brand but Blisovi every single time. Then they give me the run around saying oh it’ll be 2-3 weeks before we can get Junel and i stress again that it does not have to be Junel. This is a quarterly occurrence for 4 years now.
