Can't get a refill...

[Kate916]

I had been on it previously for many years but when I lost my insurance I weaned myself off. I took care in spacing my remaining pills in declining dose over 4 months. I hated it at first but I eventually seemed to be doing alright medicine free. I lost weight and continued to do well for almost a year. Until I had to deal with a sudden family illness and I slowly fell apart. I got on basic issuance through the county and talked with a general MD who gave me an Rx.
I have been on 1500mg of Depakote for 2 months. But now the county is having budget issues an canceled my follow up appointment and has not allowed me to reschedule or get a new Rx. I have possibly 3-4 days worth of pills left. I don't want to deal with the weight gain anymore... I don't want to deal with county insurance anymore... What can I do?

What great news. Sometimes you have to demand your rights. I hope your next doctors appointment goes well.

Thank you for your advice. I was able to spend the morning st the county office until I could talk them into granting me a refill and setting up a doctors appointment for next month to talk about changing medication.
