Can handle myself now I think.
The doctors have handed me too much poison.
Seemingly absent from me.
One of these days I will be free
This time will be different, as I know better
I can fight back with my mind and be well

I had a consultation with XXXX on today, I am afraid he remains very unhappy with the service that he has received from you and he was quite insistent that I should be the architect overseeing all his medication. From what he tells me he had a phone consultation with Dr. XXXX in mid-October, if this is the case we certainly have not received the letter at the surgery. He tells me Dr. XXXX talked about stopping some medications but he is unclear which medications these were and the only mention otherwise is the letter we have from is from his consultation in September which mentions about stopping the Fluoxetine which he is now off. He tells me he feels like giving up on mental health service all together as he feels he has not been given any guidance as to what he should be doing with his medications.
I have again strongly advised him not to make any amendments to his medications without consultation with your team, as obviously there is great risk that his paranoid schizophrenia may significantly worsen as he plans to stop all his medications.
He did mention he was told there is a possibility of an appointment with Dr. XXXX in December, but was not given any dates or further details. I really feel that xxxx needs your involvement this week as there is very high risk he may just stop all his medications and become significantly unwell.
Many thanks for contact him as a matter of urgency.
Yours Faithfully,

Lol. Sorry @Joker . I wasn’t going to reply because I don’t think you will like my response.
I honestly just think that your GP is worried about your mental health. It’s very risky for a Paranoid Schizophrenic to go off their meds. I know. I’m in the same boat. I am diagnosed Paranoid Schizophrenic too. I would love to go off my meds if I thought I could get away with it without a relapse but am afraid of the results. I wish you the best though.
Your responses fine fellow Uman
My GP is a liar
I told him I am off all meds but staying on 400mg of Amisulpride!
He’s just bitter because I want him to manage my meds, and he doesn’t like it because he’s an ■■■■■■■

I’m rereading the letter to make sure I didn’t misinterpret or misread any of it…
So this is a lie? Hmm…Is it possible that he just misunderstood you?
Hey mate. Are you going to talk to the shrink when/if they contact you?
I don’t know why he said that. Maybe he’s just trying to scare them… That is factually incorrect and not what I told him at all

I am not sure. The mental health professionals have irritated me.
Maybe they’re now finally beyond redemption?
I wouldn’t right them all off yet. It’s hard but complaining about treatment can bring some joy. I’m not familiar with your system but it sounds overworked and not too user friendly. ( If I didn’t have my psydoc I think I’d have the same trouble!). What is the plan if your contacted by the psydoc? I’d keep fighting for some sort of interaction with your shrink.
I won’t talk to him unless I can patch my mother onto the call.
Like here I need a moderator…
He will get my full frustration like he does every time
Yesterday he called. It was my day off and I was feeling very sick due to Pregabalin withdrawals, and he woke me up and I told him not interested and hung up the phone
Not sure he’ll bother again
Can you book a visit and bring your mum? When my mother was around I took her to meetings especially with the government as my advocate. It isn’t unreasonable to ask.
Unlikely to happen
He’s booked for months in clinic, and I only get a short phone call when it suits him
Just trying out of hours… It’s 5am, and I have been on hold for 30 mins
Yeah hearing that. I have to book 3 months in advance and my shrink is always 1hour late at least. I can understand your frustration with the system and being alienated with your treatment but I’d still be fighting to get the best I can from it. Phone consultations aren’t very good in my opinion.
So moving forward. Your gp doesn’t sound like they are keen to help you manage your meds. Is there any options? Different doc? psydoc? It’s not unreasonable to expect some decent treatment.

Well, I tried to go private, but all the private pdocs also work for the state… Apparently it would be a conflict of interest if they took me on
On top of that, I’d have to pay £300 for 1 45 min session, and pay full price for private meds
I cannot afford that.
My plea to the GP was at least help me, but no. Only the state pdoc can do anything
Everyone I talk to hides behind that, and they deny me any advice
