Another option is taking someone you trust with you as an advocate, sometimes these appointments it can be hard to put your point across and say what you need, having someone else there that you trust to back you up can help. I went with a friend before when her GP wasn't helping.
I know, it is lucky. When I originally went to them I wasn't taken seriously and don't get me started on CAMHS. But once I got older they stopped treating it as if I was just a moody teenager, which I know is better than most.
Although as I said I think that if anyone is having problems with their GP it is a good idea to ask around friends, family etc and see if there's one that can be more helpful...
