My usual GP has been away for quite a long time so went to see the one I was originally registered to (with?). We discussed upping my dose from 20mg to 30, which she agreed with. However, I brought up the fact that I was still breastfeeding DD and she said she was not happy with doing the increase in such situation. We went through other ioptions and I thought about them some more at home.
So today I call her to say that after all I am willing to come off Citalopram to then switch to an AD that does not show in breast milk, which first I didn't want to do. She says OK and then tells me to see my usual doctor to get the new prescription in 2 to 3 weeks , when i'm off Citalopram.
Am I being suspicious here thinking she doesn't want to prescribe the more expensive drug? She was happy to advise me different options and then accepted coming off the original drug but then directed me to the other GP for the prescription. So it wasn't as if she didn't want to embark on other GP's territory with changing my AD .
