    First thing I've got to say, I'm back on the forum after nearly 2 months of problems logging in!!
    Anyway, back to the plot, reading people's replies to this post it seems alot of us are having problems getting the meds we want as the government haven't thought about disabled people as usual!

    oh yes I've had problems with 2 chemists both within 100 metres from the doctor and in the end i got banned by both of them as i secretly videoed all 3 conversations and thank the God's for Pharmacy2U apparently the problem is the prescription is for 1 month and they had issues with the 28 day reissues and im still barred but im medicated  :)

    Yes, My tablets still aren't the same as they should be since I first started this post, and just today because 2 lots of my tablets look virtually identical I've realised I've been taken 2 of the same for the past two days! 2 lots of doxadura for high blood pressure and none of my paroxetine for depression etc!!! No wonder I've had trouble sleeping!! Good job I spotted my mistake today!

    That is the pharmacy. The GP prescribes the generic medication correctly. The pharmacy uses a wholesaler who will supply whatever they can get.

    I now have about 500 paracetamols that I cant take because the pharmacy has decided to change its brand. What a waste of money and will I now have to go without until my next prescription is due?
