curse you insurance!

I went to fill my new wellbutrin prescription. I can take one bigger pill instead of two smaller ones now that we know the right dose. The doc wrote it up for the generic version, which I was happy about because it'll save me 15 bucks. I dropped it off at the pharmacy window and they said it would take 10 minutes. I wandered around the store picking up cereal, milk, dinner, then came back to the counter. The dude, who had the weirdest non-accent accent I've ever heard, told me that they were OUT of the generic. He said that although you can go from name brand on the prescription down to generic, you can't go up. So because my doc wrote it for generic I can't bump up to the real deal since my insurance won't pay for it.

1 - this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard
2 - how depressed is my neighborhood that the pharmacy RAN OUT OF WELLBUTRIN

So I don't get to take my dose tomorrow morning. I'm already paranoid about how much it will mess me up tomorrow, and oh my god I just realized I can't pick it up until Thursday because I'll be at the Sox game tomorrow night oh shit. This could be very bad...
