PM dr retiring. Will be going 3 days without meds after a year of every day use.

As the title says. I’ll be going 3 or so days without my medication. As my refill is dated for the 12th even though i’ve gotten refills on the 9th for 4 or 5 months now since my dosage was switched. I’ve only had one early refill and it was due to going on vacation, the pharmacist seemed very understanding. (0xyc0d0ne)

However, my latest refill that my previous pain management dr sent through to get me by until i see my new DR at the end of this month, is dated for the 12th “ due to pharmacy regulations” and i’ve talked to the pharmacy and even shown them my previous refill dates being the 9th and they’re saying they can’t do anything about it.

So i’ll be going 3 days without my meds, which i’ve also recently had to cut to half the doses to get me by until my refill. Because my current dose wasn’t helping me during a lot of physical activity and my old PM dr said i could take a full dose (10 mg) in the morning instead of the half (5 mg) he weaned me down on.. But forgot to send the extra pills to the pharmacy, and sent them this time around which is a bit too late because like I said.. The pharmacy is making me wait until the 12th for both..

So on the 9th of this month i’ll be officially out of my medication and still won’t be able to refill it until the 12th so i’m needing to know what to do…

I have Lyrica which i stopped taking due to headaches, i have muscle relaxers,m3thocarbam0l, baclofen, tizanadine, i have a blood clotting disorder so can’t take nsaids but i have tylenol… what do i take/ do for 3 or so days to get me by until then? I start withdrawling at about the 8 hour mark anyways. and even the beginnings of it from over sleeping is pretty bad so im afraid.

I also refuse to go to a d3t0x place or anything like that and get labeled before i can get into my new PM dr and have everything set straight again. I also refuse to tell my new PM dr that i was short or why. I know thats a good way to lose my contract.

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. thank you
