Hi, I was wondering if someone could help / listen to my problems as they are ruining my life at the minute and I want to get them out. So in January 2015 I has a major psychotic episode where i thought i was some powerful god type thing and could do what i wanted. Since then I've had major anxiety which i have seen the doctors about who sent me to a psych and have been given a CPN, which is as good as a pile of dung.
I was put on 100mg of sertraline back in November (took them all their time to do), it's had no effect whatsoever and if anything it's gotten worse. I was also given a prescription for 2mg diazepam which they gave me 5 of, they helped a lot but then they only gave me 5 (£10 for 5 pills is stupid). ive had a couple of prescriptions since (about 3 for 5 pills to take when things are bad).
Fast forward to the past week and ive been having a load of panic attacks (average about 2 a day) which sometimes last at least an hour and i get in a state where i cant move or talk or do much of anything apart from sit there wanting to die so its over. i called the doctor on monday who gave me 5 more 2mg diazepam which have not helped in the slightest and was told to contact the cpn (they are that useless, i moved areas not far away(10 miles) but still in a different area, that i was waiting for 3 months for her to refer me to the local CPN team which still havnt contacted me and its been 2 months), so now im just an anxious mess.
I just want this to end, the nhs are absolutely useless at stuff like this, i dont understand why they are so fussy about prescribing benzodiazepines (I know they are addictive and have risks (i was a medical student until all of this happened but ive had to give it up because i cant function, so i have no future or anything because of the useless CPN) but i dont want to abuse them and would use them safely when i need them the most but nothing gets done so oh well.
Sorry about the long post but i needed to get it out, thanks for reading.
