Hi I am a lifelong (well since my teens) sufferer of panic disorder, with the odd sprinkling of OCD and Depressive episodes.
I have been off and on SSRIs since my thirties when I finally got a proper diagnoses and pharmaceutical help.
Whilst the Fluoxetine really helps with my day to day anxiety (next to no panic attacks one month to the next), less common situations still cause them. I am talking about going on holiday, the travelling. Doesn't really matter if it's by car, train or plane, the journey causes a panic attack 80% of the time. My various local GPs won't prescribed me Diazepam, or if they do it's after I beg and only then they issue me 4 or 5 tablets. I found a private GP sympathetic to my dilemma and offered me a script for 28 tablets issued annually. He also prescribed me with propanol, a beta blocker that slows the heart rate. These two meds have allowed me travel far and wide with only mild attacks, if that!
Alas my private GP has retired, I only have 3 diazepam left. Fortunately my GP was happy to swap my hypertensive meds for propanol, but still stick in the mud re diazepam.
I do need to find a new private GP , but need some pills by Monday next week. So I've looked online and there are a few places on Google that offer Video or voice call appointments. Has anyone used any and found luck. I don't think we're allowed to post sites/names in group, but PM is OK?
TIA,
