I believe I had an inappropriate approval for a medication that I don't require as much of, and I was concerned that it would impact on my ability to access that medication in future. I believe this is the correct forum for discussion of that matter. Does anyone know who to call to cancel an approval. When I was at the drs, she had called an approval line, and I wasn't supposed to be getting that amount because I was not in the criteria for such approval and I wanted to be sure that approval was actually canceled. I told the doctor to throw that script in the bin because it was not appropriate and I needed a much smaller amount, so she removed the amount from my prescriptions, and then prescribed the appropriate amount. I usually am prescribed an amount that lasts anywhere from 6 months to a year, because I don't use it any more than say twice a week if I have high anxiety.
Is there any way to know if the approval is still there, and if so, will it affect my ability to fill the script for the appropriate amount? The inappropriate script was trashed, and the relevant information on the doctor's computer regarding that script was removed as I had told her a couple of times it was too much. She also had a pop up when writing the new appropriate script. That was because I had forgotten that I'd been prescribed a very small amount within the last 3 months. So I was advised to fill the appropriate script after 90 days since the last one was filled. That's fine. But is there any way to cancel an inappropriate approval or approvals if there still there and have not been automatically cancelled when the prescription was removed from my patient data file at the Drs practice? Who can I call? What can I do? I don't want to get into a suicidal mess because I cannot access the medication I need when I have a major panic episode. I don't want to have to call 000 because I think I am dying. I don't want to present to emergency only to be turned away after waiting 8 hours! I will need the anti-anxiety med at any point in the future, and it's a long lasting one because it is required to control the panic for the next few hours.
Can someone offer advice? How do I correct this if the inappropriate approval is still there. Do I need to talk to the doctor directly, or can I call someone related to scripts. I am sure there is a system or some department I can call to get this rectified before it fucks up my life.
I need advise. I would appreciate it if you could please advise me on what to do. Thank you.
Edit: It might be related to SafeScript. Is that true? I would need to know who to call to get this stupid approval nixed before it comes back to haunt me at some point. Just to clarify once more I NEVER filled that script, it never left the doctors office, and was trashed. It was just merely pre-approved. But then I realised what had happened and the script was torn up and binned. I don't know if that pre-approval was also cancelled as well. Would the local pharmacy know what to do? If I go in and put my correct script in during the middle of next month, will they turn up their noses? If they mention about an approval would it be possible for them to call someone to cancel the inappropriate approval?
