Constant Questioning

One woman tells the price she has to pay just to feel "normal."

 

I take both a long-acting and a short-acting stimulant medication each day. The pharmacy kept asking why I needed both prescriptions for months, until I had discussed my situation with every employee there. Now my only hassle is finding the time for a monthly visit with my provider. Still, it’s a small price to pay for feeling “normal.”

    Intolerance
    LOL I have such a low tolerance for stuff like that. I would have ended it with a quick retort of some kind like "will these two medications interact in a life threatening way? No? Okay, it's too bad my doctor wasted all that time and money going to medical school since you seem to be much more knowledgable about what I do or dont need without any type of evaluation, it's amazing really." But I am a brat :)
