Having problems with my meds

It seems like every month I run out a week or two early of my Bi polar and depression meds. At first I thought the pharmacy was shorting me so last month I counted them and they were all there. However, I ran out a week early again on my Seroquel and a few days early with my Zoloft. I don't understand it because I am taking them right and I know my husband doesn't take them because he has his own meds. Because of this problem with running out earl, and because my health insurance does not pay for my meds until the exact day they are due, I have had to go without and it is really messing me up mentally. I am having problems sleeping again because the Seroquel is what helps me sleep but without it I have to take other sleeping pills just to sleep the whole night. Also I am having major mood swings and my husband and I are fighting more because of it. It's weird because he also started running out of his early too. I don't know how we are running out when they are all there when we get them. So all day I have felt depressed and more tired than usual. I really hate having to go through this. I wish I had better health insurance or I wish I could figure out how I am running out early. I really need to get back on track but I don't know how I can when I run out earl every month. Hopefully I will get thigns straightened out soon because I really hate feeling like this.

Hi,
When you say the insurance company won't authorize payment un til the last pill is gone, does that mean you have to go to the drug store on that particular day, wait for the Rx to be filled and then go home to take the next pill? I suggest you tell your doctor about this problem and maybe he could adjust the prescribed rate you're to take the meds so you have a few extra. Not many just enought to keep this from happening.
Good luck,

b

Hey really even i must say that it is not necessary to go to the doctor on that particular day itself.Insurance company won't authorize payment until the last pill is gone according to you.
