I’ve been on tablets for years. The last 10 years, I’ve become increasingly sick of the weight gain to the point of desperation. I wouldn’t take the full therapeutic dose because l just ate non stop, so l felt pretty crap.

My doctor wouldn’t change my tablets at start of lockdown. She is generally lovely, but I’m very difficult to treat due to lots of side effects.

I approached a private psychiatrist. I started tablets, but they made me much much worse. So bad l called the crisis team.

They wouldn’t help as it was a private psychiatrist. I’ve contacted him, but had no reply. My go will just tell me to take higher dose of tablets that make me overeat.

I have no strength left to push anything. I feel like shit. Anxiety spinning out of control. I don’t know where to turn to anymore.

I cannot face emailing my gp.I’m pissed off paying someone who doesn’t even respond. I don’t know what to do.

How many doctors have you seen?
If only your general physician and the psychiatrist, I would encourage to see another psychiatrist. A third opinion is always welcome.

Haven’t seen go in person since March though. Her last phrase was there’s nothing else l can do for you..
