Another Zentiva progesterone thread - how to force GP/pharmacy to not give me it

I may have posted before about the fact that Zentiva progesterone makes me suicidal and seen posts from others here and elswhere saying similar. I believe it's due to the oil used in the tablets affecting the absorption rate. My GP surgery has now specified "Dr Reddy's brand if possible" on my electronic repeats and I made a Yellow card report to MHRA.

Today I went to collect my progesterone repeat and opened the bag at the counter and it was Zentiva. I politely asked for another brand and explained why, they said they had given me it because they didn't have Dr Reddy's in stock and eventually I was given another brand but I was in there for almost an hour and the counter staff were shitty about it although the pharmacist was quite understanding.

Is there anything I can do to stop this happening every 2 months?
