Has anyone that has needed these meds either long term or briefly experienced this?
I went to the ER for my nerve pain, that had gotten terrible, and was given lyrica (I'm very anti pharma but had run out of options. For NINE years I had treated with natural modalities.)
I got it filled next day. Tho that night I still had pain so I tried a gabapentin rx I had and I got shaky and dry mouth, and still had pain.
Anyway, next day I talked to a nurse at my PCP office and explained everything, she said to go back to the ER. So I did. A different one. (At the first one, I told them I had called the suicide hotline b/c I was frantic and in pain and didnt know what to do, so they took all my belongings and had to wear a gown. Asked all these questions..but the only reason I was feeling that way was due to the pain. These ppl are fucking idiots)
At this one I was given rx for Norco and some nitro cream. Id never taken an opiod b4 and was scared but I did. I didnt know was only 3.5 days worth. Not started the nitro as I'm a bit scared
The two SEEMED to be helping, so I called my pcp and told them I was almost out, to refill. She said no at first. Later I was so pissed off and hopeless I called again and said this is urgent, to someone there—not sure if was a nurse, and so they put it high priority. I've called back for 3 days, shes still not looked at it. And now I have none left. The third day I was told shes not even there, that a dr is filling in. So they sent the message to him. No call back.
I called later to someone on call and they told me to go to urgent care. Theyd help me.
NOPE.
I just got attitude. She was talking fast, didnt let me get all my explanations in, said why haven't you done the cream yet? I said I got that delivered later. Was very pissy about that for some reason. I said I had felt suicidal. She said then go to the ER to talk to someone about that. I said...I'm not depressed---I feel that way due to pain! I was starting to cry. She reluctantly gave me 4 pills. I really just need enough until I see my pain specialist. She said the ER wont help you. She was such a damn bitch, zero empathy. Didnt give a f***.
I left and called some online dr. She couldnt help me. She suggested go back to an urgent care. I said they treated me like shit, but she said you may get a better dr.
I got home and called my pcp office, demanded to talk to on call dr. The lady was very nice and after I explained myself, she said its unusual the dr I page will say yes unless theyve seen you. She did anyway, they said no. She said your best bet is the ER, which I will go to tomorrow for the fucking 3rd time. This is a royal nightmare. I called a lawyer, they wouldn't take my case, but I will try another.
What have you done in this situation? Any groups about this kind of malpractice treatment? Any petitions?
