Posting for traffic - DD forgot her medication and we’re at the airport

[VeryGoodVeryNice]

My DD (age 19) forgot both to take her antidepressant this morning, and to bring them with her. We’re about to board the plane to Amsterdam, going for a week. I tried phoning 111 and my GP, but neither could help (we were already through security).

Is there anything we can do when we get there to get an emergency prescription for her? If not the holiday is going to be a write off, I know from previous experience of her missing a day or two she gets awful withdrawals, and her dose has been upped recently so I’d imagine it’s going to be even worse. I realise any option is probably going to cost £££££ but I’d rather pay and save the holiday if possible.

I got an email from my GP but that isn’t good enough apparently, it needs to be a signed prescription, so I have to pay for a consultation to see the doctor at the airport pharmacy. Just waiting now. But at least I can get it sorted.

Excellent! Enjoy your break

I'm sure the OP is really grateful for your polite slagging off of her parenting.

Or is she maybe focused on trying to sort out her daughter...

Oh that’s good news! Costly I suppose but you’ll be able to enjoy your holiday now.

It could have been a lot worse, only €76. Onwards and upwards.

Enjoy your holiday!

Honestly, that seems like a small price to pay to save the holiday. Very lucky OP, now you can relax and enjoy your holiday!

So glad you’ve been able to get it sorted 😊

some of the posts on this thread have been so judgemental.

Definitely cheaper than a return trip home and another flight 😂

Thanks for the update OP. I'm glad you can get it sorted, then enjoy the rest of your holiday 🏖

So glad you got it sorted! I hope you and your daughter have a wonderful time

@Clickandcollect82 Only just started reading this thread and you have said exactly what I was thinking …poor kid !

glad you got it sorted

Fuck knows, being the parent of a disabled child or young person is hard enough without other parents of kids with additional needs turning on you the second you make a mistake. The lack of empathy some posters have displayed on this thread is staggering. We all forget things, all of us, and as the parent of a disabled child OP will have much more to remember than most. Whether OP forgot the meds or her DD forgot, it really doesn't matter! She posted asking for solutions and its a shame some people just can't resist the opportunity to kick someone when they're down.

I hope you get sorted, OP and that you're able to enjoy your trip.

Except for arrogance.

And breathe,the best £76 you have ever spent,have a brilliant time.

Well done OP! Cheaper than someone getting another flight tomorrow 🤣

Yay!

To be fair, the OP specifically stated that her daughter forgot the meds.

My DD is i8 and suffers with her mental health and could not do this. She gets too overwhelmed and stressed.

Are you OK???

It doesn't matter!! The problem is that OP and her DD are at the airport and the medication is not. She didn't post asking whose responsibility it was, she posted asking for practical solutions to that problem.

Maybe OP just didn't expect to be interrogated so she put "my DD forgot her meds" because it's quicker to type than "my DD lacks the capacity to remember her medication due to her disability so I was supposed to remind her to pack them, but I forgot".

Fucking hell.

Have a great trip!
