Have previously posted but never been this bad. Until recently I had private medical care so coped but am now at the bottom of the pile as far as my GP is concerned. I returned to work in August after 4 months off but found it too stressful - was collapsing every day and vomiting and unable to eat, lost a stone in 3 weeks so after 3 months I quit as my health is more important.
Until then I had private medical insurance so have not relied on the NHS for 7 years. I had to register with a practice for NHS services.
I spent 5 weeks as an inpatient and 5 weeks as a day patient 2 years ago at at a psychiatric unit but cannot afford it now as it is 5k per week.
I have been to my gp x 6 and seen numerous doctors but they will only give me the minimum strength of ads and sleepers. I need more. After 3 years of very high doses (225mg) 25mg is not going to cut it.
Am now on day 4 of no sleep and feel like a zombie but just hallucinate if I try and sleep.
Is there anywhere free/cheap I can go for a few days like the previous hospital just to getu meds sorted out. GP has been useless and have tried everyone at the practice. Am
not working so money is tight but would pay or help.
Am in se London
So sorry for long post but the nhs cannot/will not give me the dose I have proved I need and I am beside myself.
