Yeah that sounds unreasonable. Sorry you have to deal with such amatuerism. I’m glad my psydoc is pretty good but it’s hard to see them in an emergancy. Hang in there. I always thought England had a good medical system but I assume it’s like out here where everything is under pressure.
I had a go and said I’d been trying to arrange an appointment for 4 weeks and had not received a letter
Then I said the GP over prescribed me with AD’s and I will just increase the dose myself
He then said I am taking an overdose? I said I can see on the internet the maximum dose and he said well the internet is not a doctor. I told him well put me through to my doctor then (6:53am) and he ended the call
What an ■■■■■■■
Keep trying the process. Get it done then report on their lack of understanding. I’m sorry you have to deal with that but primarily it’s look after yourself. I lack that opportunity if I’m in crisis. Doctor comes back in two or so days if your lucky. Do you see a psydoc or is that hit or miss too?
I do but I have fallen through the net since my last appointment got cancelled
He tends to phone me (Covid) when there is a problem
The doctor said to me they’re not a crisis service and you have to wait weeks - not hours or days
Fact is I have waited on an ineffective dose of Prozac for 4 weeks and my CPN has repeatedly forgotten to book an appointment and is now on holiday
Yeah hearing that. Prozac was a fail for me. I have tried like 8 or so antidepressants to get to where I am now. Ssri’s just don’t cut it for my brain. Ended up on effexor as it’s norephiledrine too. If your getting 4 or so weeks into the prozac it might be worthwhile trying to change…That is where the problem is because there’s a lot more choice these days.
It sounds you need the help but just need to find what works…may take some time but psydoc if they are any good might have a better idea than someone down the line…Now. Keep on the prozac but I’d be trying to get into an appointment poste haste.
It sounds like he just didn’t like the fact that you were going around his authority to me.
Pretty much I think that was the case.
Hopefully the ambulance people will have the sense not to waste their time
If I’d been given an appointment in the first place, we wouldn’t have even being having that conversation
I phoned my mother and she is talking to them now
I said tell them to stop being dicks, but say it nicely
Hoping she can get them to stand down
Honestly, how on earth are people supposed to get the right treatment
Well they apologised to her and me and stopped the paramedics coming to my door
The person my mother spoke to is emailing the manager of the clinic I go to, and telling them to sort out my medication as a priority
I hope the person I spoke too gets told off for being so rude to me
