A gp can prescribe this medication, although i imagine only doctors with good knowledge of this medication will do it.

My gp prescribes it and understands it's uses well,all they have to do is look it up on the nhs website !

Yeah, then they get scared of the possible side effects and deny you access to the drug.
If a doctor has a preconceived idea about what a drug is like, no NHS website or BNF book will help. Trust me, ive had it first hand!

If your doctors no good change them and find one that suits you
