Ok so back in March I accidentally left my bottle of Zoloft (50mg) at a cabin I was staying in. I called my Psychiatrist, paid a lost medication fee, and all was well.

Last month, my medication just disappeared. I must’ve dropped it somewhere or something, but it was nearing the end of the month anyway so there were around 10 pills in the bottle.

He now refuses to refill my prescription and insists we go back to monthly meetings until he’s able to insure that i’m able to “responsibly care for my medication.” The thing is, our meetings are just 10 minute phone calls where he awkwardly asks for life updates, charges me $100, and sends me a refill.

I’m a college student really struggling financially right now, so this just will not fit into my budget. I told him about my situation, and he said it would be against practice to refill my medication.

What do I do here? I have no medication left and i’m already experiencing some uncomfortable withdrawals. Should I just stop my medication?
