Medical Insurance Mess Annoyance

I’m kinda annoyed at the medical/insurance mess right now..

Not really their fault, but I need to get a prescription of my anti-depressant, Effexor XR.

I hate the fact that I’m going to have to go to a doctor and the conversation is going to boil down to this:
I have a long history of depression, Effexor XR works well for my symptoms, I have an old script that I’ve been taking, will you write me a new one?

Just too much grief here.

To top it off I can’t get a reasonable individual insurance plan until the beginning of November. So I’ve got to cough up a hundred or so bucks…
