One of the medications I take (treatment for an exotic form of seizure) is a Schedule 2 drug, and thus requires a full prescription to be issued monthly. Said prescription can only be written at most two days before the prescription is due to run out, because fuck you you filthy little addict. As a result I have never, not once, been able to get these prescriptions approved by my insurance before I start having withdrawals from the meds.
So, yeah. Monthly withdrawals because a $30 generic medication that I've taken for years absolutely must be carefully evaluated to make sure I'm not selling it under the table to professional golfers or something.
My son has the exact same problem. He ended up skipping a day here and there until he has a 7 day buffer.
