Waiting,,,again, your experience with seeing the Pharmachist

On monday my doctor put all the paper work in for me to start triple therapy with Incivik. The office called me today and the first available appt for instructions on using these drugs in September 23rd. My question to all of you is, how long did it take for the paper work to go through, I imagine different for different clinics and insurances, and, did it take a while to get your appt with pharmacist?  I realize I am working through a Liver Clinic and that could be part of the issue but I am sooo ready to get going on this.  I appriciate your input.........

Consider waiting at least two weeks AFTER you get your meds before beginning treatment.  Many times people will have difficulty with delivery of the meds for one reason or another and you do not want to be caught without any meds on hand.  

So...1. get your meds....2. wait two weeks...3. start treatment...4. then order the next shipment of meds as if you started two weeks earlier so that you are always at least two weeks ahead of the game.

Just read some of the post below and see that it takes 2-3 weeks for paper work. Should have read on first, seems to be a lot of folks getting ready to start treatment!
