The pharmacy told me last month my risperidone from my pdoc expired. I told them to renew it, they told me the Dr refused to renew it. I called my Dr they told me I need to get an apt in 3 months. I almost ran out of risperidone. I can’t be without meds for 3 months. I am mad. Maybe my wish of becoming psychotic and happy will finally come true.

I don’t have a pdoc since 2021. My gp won’t renew my meds until I get a apt in 3 months

Thats how apts work here but maybe I can book an emergency apt online and say I am suicidal. Once I took an emergency apt and the Dr yelled at me he said my negative symptoms and depression are not an emergency or life threatening. He didn’t help me.

That’s really strange. Usually docs want you to take your meds.

That is not good news. Can you wait at outpatients to be seen by someone there? It’s probably a very long wait but not 3 months. That’s what I was doing before I was diagnosed.

No but in 2016 I stopped meds for 2yrs and when I went back to the pharmacy they said they can’t give me meds and that I need to see a pdoc, to see a pdoc I needed to wait a year. My family ended up calling an ambulance.

Call them again and say you booked the earliest appointment available and you need your medications renewed until that appointment. Any reasonable doctor would do this. Otherwise you should probably seek emergency assistance.

Go there physically to accident and emergency.
This is an invisible emergency situation.
If they can’t give you your meds you have no other choice. It’s a distressing condition to experience and leaves us with trauma.
