Pharmacy update today - backorder again?

Stuck in a refill gap starting today thanks to a backorder. How have you bridged the timing safely?

I hit a backorder stretch a few months back and ended up a few days behind my usual day. Didn't feel any different to me, so I just picked the normal schedule back up once it landed.

How many days past your usual day are you looking at? I stretched mine by two and the food noise came back a bit by day three, which I didn't expect.

How many days past your usual day are you looking at? My gap ran about five and the first two were fine, it was day three where the food noise came back loud.

How many days extra are you stretching it? I've got a gap coming up and I'm trying to decide whether to ride it out or call around to other pharmacies.

Mine ran dry for about nine days in January and I just kept my normal injection day, no stretching. The hunger crept back near the end of that window and then settled once the refill landed.

Did you get any heads up from the pharmacy before the gap hit, or did it just show up on refill day? Mine gave me nothing last time.

How many days is the gap? Mine ran four last month and I just kept meals boring and protein forward till it closed.

How many days is the gap? Mine ran four days once and I just kept my meals boring and high protein til the refill landed.

How many days are you actually short? My gap was only four and I just ate breakfast like it was my biggest meal of the day til the refill landed.

How many days are you stretching it? Mine was four and the hunger hit hardest on day three, so I front-loaded protein at breakfast those mornings.

Curious what dose you're on and whether stretching it was your call or your doctor's. I got caught in a gap last fall and just sat tight on the same dose until stock came back, which felt safer than fiddling with it myself.

how many days does your gap look like? Mine was four and I just ate a lot of eggs til the refill landed.

How many calls did it take before one of them actually had it in the back? I'm only a few down and already tired of dialing around.

Did the partial fill thing actually work out for you? My pharmacy offered to split a box once and then acted like they'd never said it when I showed up

Did the partial fill thing myself last week, they handed me half a box and I go back for the rest when it lands. Beats staring at an empty fridge shelf wondering if the gap is going to be two days or ten.

Did you ask about a partial fill when you called?

How many calls did it take before you found the independent? I gave up after two chains and just ate the gap

Have you tried the independents in Detroit proper or just the burbs? The one off Woodward had my dose when nobody else did.

Did the independent give you a straight answer on how long their stock usually lasts? Mine ran out two days after I switched to them, so I ended up calling around again mid-gap.
