Hello a bit of back story. I had to see an out of hours doc on Sunday due to my extreme anxiety from PTSD. My twin brother forced me to go.
The doctor was fantastic, everything you'd hope for. He gave me a prescription for 2mg diazepam x3 per day enough to last until today. Those have helped amazingy well.
I explained to him I missed my Psychologist appointment due to anxiety and not being able to leave the house. Also that I have my Psychiatrist appointment on the 22nd(as She will take over all medication)
In around a half hours time I'll take my diazepam to calm my nerves and allow me to leave the house with my partner(also a paramedic). The appointment is a longer type around 20min, so I hope together we can explain how bad it's gotten and I'm not going to work etc. I guess I'm hoping she prescribes something similar just until I get to see the Psychiatrist on the 22nd as don't believe I could hang on until then without some help.
So my question is: Do you think it's unreasonable to ask for some medication to tide me over? Also just knowing I have some in my medication keyring 9/10 is very calming if that makes sense.
Thanks for any advice given,
Fudge
