I submitted an online request to my GP for a repeat prescription of levothyroxine on Friday. It was for 100mg tablets and 25mg tablets. I've taken a 125mg dose for 2 years. Repeat prescriptions are for 3 months at a time.
I've just got an email saying the GP won't issue 25mg tablets as I haven't had any prescribed since July 2015. This is utter rubbish! I visited my GP and got a renewal of all my meds prescribed (I take 12 different meds) in October because I was going abroad for a month. This isn't the first time I've had problems with repeat prescriptions. They've randomly issued wrong types of medications and wrong doses before. Each time I've had to traipse in and see my 'good' GP who is very confused by the mistakes and sorts it out.
I explained very calmly to the receptionist that the systerm must be wrong because I have definitely been taking a 125mg dose every day. I explained to her that it's obviously impossible for me to have taken that dose if I hadn't been given any 25mg tablets for 7 months. I suggested that maybe there's been an error on the system. Apparently that's utterly impossible. The receptionist was insistent that I could not have been taking 25mg tablets and they couldn't issue more. There was an inference that perhaps I was confused. 
So now 1) I'm going to have to 'waste' a GP appointment to sort this out; 2) and take time off work to do it; 3) I'm going to run out of 25mg tablets in the meantime.
AIBU to think this is a ridiculous waste of everyone's time and be frustrated with the attitude that technology can never be wrong.
