I talked to them today, when I went in. They said it's legit. For some drugs, Wellbutrin being one of them, they have started calling patients that are starting them. They didn't know I was stepping down from 150mg to 100mg.

I switched from 150mg Wellbutrin from Aetna to 100mg from Walgreens. Yesterday, Walgreens pharmacy called me to see how I was doing on that drug.

They've never called before, that was weird

That is odd!

Okay, I can buy that. EXCEPT, the effects of stepping down wouldnt be immediate.

If this is to cover their liability in case of adverse event, (nervous breakdown, suicide), it falls flat with me. Its not the pharmacy that is responsible, its the prescriber.

Also, Wellbutrin is mainly for anxiety. Getting a mysterious call from my pharmacy would GIVE me serious anxiety.

I was getting my 150mg fills from Aetna home delivery. Walgreens had never filled it at any dose.

So, where are we? I'm doing OK. I need to get my psych to up the frequency of dosage for the ADD drug. I burn it off by 1300 or so and crash

I was able to use, again, the ABSMS poster with a doctor to explain things. That's an awesome thing to have
