It's not a supply issue.

Apparently, every controlled prescription requires approval from some corporate office, and they haven't replied to my pharmacist's requests. I have to follow up every day but I often forget to.

Something about my physician's DEA number conflicts with Walmart's database. I'm never told the details. It happens nearly every time.

If I finally get it filled on the 12th, a couple days from now, I'll have to wait until December 12th to request again. That means, effectively, I get a 30-day supply every ~42 days.

I'm coming to the end of a three-day weekend. I had nothing but free time and a dozen creative TankieTube projects on my mind's desk that would have brought me joy to work on. However, because I've been rationing myself only three capsules per week, I lost all that time to attention traps on the internet. I'm grieving it.
