Also don't forget your mandatory call to the doc each month for every refill
and don't forget to call a day early when it lands on a weekend
and don't forget to setup the mandatory appointment every 6 months
and don't forget to actually go to the appointment
and don't forget to schedule a drug test once every whatever-amount-of-time it is for your state
and don't forget to not eat or drink or take the medication the morning of the drug test

Cause if you forget just 1 of those they'll obviously have no choice but to deny you the medication you've been taking every day for 10 years. But you understand because punishing disabled people for mistakes/crimes of able-minded people (who don't find those things challeging), is clearly the only option they have.

What's up with the drug test part?

[–] onoira@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

They're primarily checking for proof that you're taking the medication.

If levels are too low: they assume you're not using it, and if you're not using it you must be selling it.
Levels too high: you're abusing it.
Levels of something else (usually alcohol or cannabis): you're a junkie.

All three can get your prescription revoked, and the testing requirements change based on the weather and what your doctor had for breakfast last Tuesday.
