I don't get it

I have come to the frightening conclusion that the pharmacists at my "new" drugstore are sampling the wares. Since I transferred my prescriptions to this branch, I've been finding that I have an extra dose of the mirtazapine every month.

Every. Single. Month.

At first Downwood claimed that it was because they'd accidentally given me 31 instead of 30 (what the Rx is written for) once and I kept putting that pill in the new bottle. I thought he maybe had a point, as I wasn't sure if I'd thrown away the extra dose or kept it. So last month I left the extra dose in its original bottle.

Last night, there were two doses of mirtazapine left and one of nortriptyline. "Hm," I thought, "isn't this the same as last month?" Sure enough, the remaining dose from February's fill was still sitting pristinely in its bottle. "Aha!" I exclaimed, "I have caught you red-gloved! I see your plot! You're trying to make me think I've forgotten doses so that I slowly overdose! Admit it!!!!"

Downwood was wonderful and called my refills in over his lunch break (I forgot until I was driving past them on my way to class in the frozen tundra). I just now counted the pills in each bottle. Nortriptyline: 30 doses. Mirtazapine: 31 doses!!!

I feel vindicated.

It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.







In other news, I really, REALLY want this book. That is all.
