Hi
I'm a bit worried right now because I ran out of my meds on Thursday and can't get any now until Monday afternoon.
I lost my repeat prescription slip so I rang the doctors and they said to write on a slip of paper my name etc and what I needed and to bring it to the pharmacy (which is part of the doctors). It normally takes 48 hours so I took the request in on Thursday morning on my way to work thinking I would be able to collect them on Friday eveing so I wouldn't miss any days. But the sign said that prescriptions wouldn't be ready until Monday afternoon. I didn't have time to speak to the pharmacist because she was busy and I was late for work so I had to leave it. So I thought I would risk it.
So now I haven't had any meds for 2 days and I am starting to feel dizzy and drowsy.
Does anybody know what's the worst that can happen if I don't get any meds now until Monday? I am on Paroxetine and I know that you shouldn't stop them suddenly. Last time I was on them I had to come off them very gradually. I've been back on them for 3 months now. I can cope with the drowsiness but I don't want to start feeling panciky and anxious, especially as I have been feeling really good these last few weeks.
Thanks
Emma
