I had a major breakdown at 38 , all my control systems crashed , I went to my gp and was given anti depressants , seroxat changed my personality , leading to a consultant psychiatrist diagnosing my as cyclathemic .
I have been drugged for 18 years of my life ,losing everything material and emotional ,have gone from a reasonably successful small business man to a virtual recluse who cant deal with normal life, recently I have been trying to take legal action and be tested for aspergers , I have stopped taking all prescription drugs my mind is now clearing and the I am involved in battling the nhs with no legal help , does anyone else have experiences of this type ?

they are delaying because I am building a case against them for misdiagnosis ,and prescribing drugs I never needed , things have changed since yesterday as I spoke to my consultant psychiatrist ,he has fast tracked funding and am now on his list for assessment ,he may also agree to become an expert witness if the case comes to court , the nhs have historically diagnosed depression in lots of people ,doped them and caused untold suffering , I hope to highlight this and hopefully change gps attitudes ,hopefully they may also compensate me for 18 years I have lost whilst wrongly drugged. thanks for your reply
There are no guarantees where legal action is concerned. If I might be so bold to make one suggestion - your health is more important than winning your court case. Don't lose sight of that fact.
cheers ,its amazing how quickly you can make things happen when your mind is functional,the practise have passed the complaint to their insurance lawyers ,time to get bullied ,lol
Hi, you can demand to see another GP and request an Autism assessment, it's your right. But why do you think they are wrong to diagnose you as cyclathemic? What if they are right and that you are wrong?
I did see another gp and now waiting for an assessment , as to diagnosis , cyclathemia may have been caused by medication , who knows if they are proved right ,
contact consultant myself appointment in march , strange it took gp 11 months of excuses I made 1 phone call ,and funding was approved , it is really hard in a forum to say all , the gp has sent my complaint to their insures , that's progress
