Hello Im 26 year old female from UK. Been on Fluoroxetine for 10 years.
How do you convince a GP that you need stonger meds? I only ever get given a week's worth of Diazapam (7x2mg).... I dont give a crap about addiction, I just want to live my life anxiety-free. I see a lot of posts on this site saying they are prescribed 20+mg a day of diazapam. What do you need to tell the GP for them to prescribe you this as opposed to a week's supply. My anxiety is crippling, yet no doctor takes me seriously. It's as if they'd rather me turn to alcohol than risk their medical career/judgement. "Diazapam is addictive etc" - I dont care - id rather be addicted to it than live my life in constant severe anxiety and hell. Have severe anxiety I battle with every single bleeding day - yet GPs are afraid to give me anything like Diazapam that might actually see me through the next few months. That, or I become an alcoholic. I hate my life. Someone, help me. I'm already drinking too much to escape the anxiety.
