Yesterday went to the doctors to get my monthly prescription,the he said you have been on SSRI's for ten years now and have had counselling, etc and everything available to you,so in other words there's nothing left we just as well say goodbye,I was shocked and had a very bad day,so I am on my own now,this is not a negative post just saying how it is,not sure what the future holds,but will carry on regardless and keep you updated.Enjoy your day my friends.Teabags xxx

The doctor should be reported he chose and is being paid a big fat salary to treat patients and not treat them how you have been treated. Do you have a practise manager there if you do speak to her. Take care. X

It is my little dog,Thank you all what it was is that I had arranged for my ears to be syringed out but I cancelled it as I was having a bad day,I cancelled it early so that I never let anyone down,I have ringing in my ears,and it does disappear when I am not so anxious on a very rare occasion,the doctor the doctor suggested Mirtazpine and I said't I didn't want just more medication going in to my brain that's all they do is change the tablets or up the dose,I've been on medication for so long and it has never worked,the doctors have a very heavy workload and all they can do is hand out tablets like sweets,its not there fault,perhaps you will understand where the doctors coming from,when he said

you are refusing medication and cancelled your ear syringing appointment,so we cannot help you anymore,my apologise if I have misinformed you in anyway.its not in me to give up..Teabags

Hi teabags,

The doctor saying that is still very juvenile, and uncaring.

It must be so hard dishing out drugs 4 hrs and day for £120000 plus referrals. God they dont know they are born.

You are entitled to ask for help, whether it be for your ears or more therapy, go get them teabags, just keep your cool when you ask, as I've been tempted in the past :-)

Hi Louise,

We shouldn't feel like we are mithering the doctors, but we do.

My heart goes out for you for your sad losses.

I see you live around the Rochdale area?? I live in Heywood.

Don't give up asking for help, that's what the doctors get paid for.

Thank you eunice,that's very kind of you, I seem to live in a permanent state of anxiety al the time,just going through palpitations at the mo,while I'm in bed,something different every day,I don't think these antidepressants I'm on are suiting me, some days I feel so ill,yes I'm in Rochdale ,I don't know Heywood very well though,

in reply to

Hi Louise,

Poor you, no let up for you then. It's hard getting the right medication. I have been on Sertraline for about 8 years and others before them. I am not to bad at the present.

I know Rochdale, I used to work at Shanti', my mates shop, on the walk, part time, but have been retired for a long time now.

I hope you can get to see you daughter and her family soon, perhaps they can lift your spirits. I can't even imagine losing a child.

Look after yourself.

in reply to
