missP Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I have just left UK to take a job abroad...before I went, my physiatrist increased my Celexa dosage to 20mg, they had me only on 10mg to see if I had a bad reactions previously (which thankfully I didnt)Anyway I took the prescription to the pharmacy to get a supply of 20mg and they gave me a packet that clearly says '20mg' on the outside and I have discovered today that the pack of pills inside they are all bloody 10mg!!!!!!!!!!! so I havent for the right dosage to see me through my trip. I was actually planning to come back for a weekend in July for a check up with the doc and shrink but now I will have to come back in two weeks time as I have to take 2 x 10mg and my pills will run out! Stupid bloody pharmacy, that so dangerous to get customers medication so wrong.....its put a real downer on my stay....grrrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tray Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 as some one who works for PPD (prescriprion pricing division) i can honestly say... you wouldnt believe how the pharmasists screw up sometimes!!!all i would say is, do what i do, open every bottle/packet when in the shop and make sure you get what you should have, and that the directions are correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripper Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 my pharmacy is constantly getting my dose wrong. These days I check everything before leaving the premises. Call me anal, but my pills are extremely important (especially the antipsychotics) and I can't afford them stuffing up at my expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
