Our nearest hospital had its 24hr status revoked and the next nearest one is too far (and I'm not driving in this state!) I managed to get my prescription at just after nine today and now I feel super-crappy because I'm going through withdrawal plus side effects of re-starting my meds. I don't get any additional support because therapy lasts 6 sessions only thanks to the government cutting budgets to mental health (because a super-fast railway line is apparently what we all need, not medical care), so if I ring a crisis team they can't medicate me, only section me. And I'm nowhere near the need for sectioning, I just need my pills!Don't any nearby hospitals have an after hours pharmacy?
If not, I'd just go to the after hours/emergency department and tell them I'm unstable and need my meds asap because I'm having bad withdrawals. I'm not sure how the medical aid works over there but over here I'd probably get charged a bit more for the stuff going through the hospital to get it. Get Steve to take you, or ring your team? Not sure what else you could do other than wait for morning but that's the last resort, I think. Hugs to you Angel, hang in there xxx
That is the last time I forget a prescription - and now I know for sure I can't come off them any time soon thanks to the last 56 hours :laugh:
I'm on quite a high dosage, so to suddenly stop like that has really thrown me for six. Reckon I won't be back to normal (haha!) until sometime later in the week. Until then I get the joys of nausea, shaking, anxiety, panic attacks and other stuff I really could do without right now.
Ah well...
