""Forgot" To Prescribe Medication"

I was running out of my mood stabiliser (lamotrogine) and had told my case manager during a phone call a month and a half prior when i was supposed to run out. I was in Perth at the time yet they said we will have an appointment as soon as i get back (which would've been in a weeks time). We did not, it took another month to get an appointment and at this point i had been rationing my mood stabiliser as to not suddenly drop off it or run out, this had been happening for around 3 weeks, where i would have my mood stabiliser one day and then take the next one two days later so i didnt run out.

By the time the appointment happened, i had 2 mood stabilisers left. I told them all of this, the rationing and that i dont have any left essentially. I asked for a renewal on my script. They said they would do it after this session. I felt uncomfortable but let them do it anyway as I believe they were supposed to be trustworthy. They said i would have an e-script the next day. 

That did not happen. I then proceeded to wait 2 days. Then 3. Then 4. And so on. I could not get in contact with my case manager and withdrawals soon set in harshly.

I was extremely nauseous and bed ridden due to this. Vomiting for 5-10 minutes uncontrollably every morning and feeling so lightheaded everytime i moved. I was stuck to my bed essentially yet i still had to go to work. 

I was supposed to have week or fortnightly appointments with this case manager. None of this happened. I believe they knew when i worked, they told me a day and time they would call me to schedule an appointment. None of that ever really happened and still doesnt, and the few times it did, they would call me at work. I was not able to pick up (understandably) and only finished work outside CMH'S operating hours, so i couldnt call back.

The next appointment was with my psychiatrist, which was 4 weeks after the last one, the one where the case manager said they would give me the script the next day.

Upon seeing my psychiatrist and having the case manager in the room, the psychiatrist asked me how the medication had been going. I told them i hadnt been on it for around 4 weeks and rationing it then 3 weeks prior to running out. The psychiatrist asked me why. The case manager said nothing at this point, until i specifically called them out.

"You never provided me my script."

Upon this, I felt they barely had a acceptable reaction. I recall they said, Oh. I forgot. And seemingly laughed it off.

I dont think forgetting someones necessary and/or needed mood stabiliser, especially one such as lamotrogine, is something to just laugh off.

In my opinion it displays negligence. A seeming lack of care. 

I recall the psychiatrist laughed along with the case manager. 

I was suffering in pain, nausea and barely able to function at work having to do hospitality and customer service, yet it was apparently something to laugh about.

I dont trust this service at all for support. Yet its my only option at the moment.
