You know when people complain about not being able to get their prescription, repeat or new, in microseconds? That's because there's systems in place, or should be, to minimise mistakes happening.

Rubbish pharmacists.

Doctor told me to slowly come off my steroids and slowly up the dose of pregabalina.

I did as instructed but feeling worse and worse all week. I assumed it was because of missing the steroids.

But doc prescribed me 25 mg.
The pharmacist gave me 100mg.

So I've been taking 4 times the dose. Even having difficulty writing this.

I'll be on the right dose tmrw

The pharmacist should be struck off. There are POM that could make you seriously ill at four times the prescribed dose. I hope you feel better soon

Took proper dose this morning and feel OK.
I've been off and on them for 18 months, so not sure when the mistake happened.
I was on small dose back then so no problems. Only recently was it upped and hit the dangerous level.

No long term harm done.

It takes a week for repeats to work it's way through the system here.
Not great but not overly onerous when you know your own med needs, I always put mine in 2 weeks before needing them, but bugger me the amount who complain on the local facebook page about running out boggles the mind.
