Problems getting prescription after extending usage

I have been extracting 3.75 from a 5mg pen which was prescribed to me at the beginning of Feb. Now I’m trying to reorder & Med express are saying I need to go back down to 2.5 due to the length of time since my last order.. does anyone have experience of a pharmacy that’s a bit more lenient on this issue?? Thanks!

Medexpress seems to the most awkward of any provider.
It makes me wonder how they keep customers.
I have used a variety who are all much more reasonable but the two best I would recommend are Curely and IQ Doctor.

If it's been 2 or more weeks any provider will tell you to start at the beginning. Do you know the date of your last dose?

I often leave it six to seven weeks with Oushk and it’s never been an issue.

I do the same as you and have found Lotus to be really good

I’m with medicine marketplace and you can go as much as seven weeks between orders so if you’ve got evidence of your last prescription you might be within time for them.

I stockpiled before the September price hike , so much so that I didn’t need to reorder till late January , I was also making pens last longer . I had no issue when explained this to Lloyds, and farmacie, they both were fine & prescribed the current dose I was taking

Just gone through lotus (thx for the recommend!) & gone straight through. Phew!
