coming off sertraline

Posted , 2 users are following.

My repeat prescription online request for sertraline 50 mg has been rejected!!! No reason given. I have three more days' supply which I shall taken half at a time – I can understand my GP might want to wean me off it after a couple of years but surely there should be some discussion first? I have an appointment with her next week as it happens, but I just wanted to hear other people's experience?

    There can be many reasons the pharmacy has rejected to refill your medication.

    Maybe they're out of it, maybe they need to hear back from insurance first, from your GP, maybe it's deemed to soon for you to fill, etc.

    It is unfortunate and there's not much you can do except ask why, and try speaking with your GP or insurance to find out why and to develop a solution.

    I hope your appt provides answers.
