I’ve been on AD’s for a long time. Usually they just keep me on an even keel but I have been feeling very depressed recently. My most recent review was around December on the phone and consisted of ‘is everything ok?’ Yes. ‘Review in 12 months then’
2 weeks ago I took the plunge to reach out to get an appointment. Explained how things were, plus feeling very tired and low emotionally. Booked me in for bloods and said to come back in for results, if not any organic deficiencies he would look into some therapy. Today I called up for an appointment and told the receptionist what it was about. She said I couldn’t have an appointment for results and would get a call. A different GP called me and said bloods were ok and no concerns. I wasn’t able to speak up either to the GP or the receptionist. It’s so hard for me to ask for help. I think they will suggest raising a my dose or change meds but I can’t take an SSRI they make me very agitated.
I’m just left feeling back to square one again. Sorry for the long moan
