As for a referral to an OBGYN....I love my country, I do, but Australia is not perfect. To get into the public system would mean a waiting list for two years and I can't afford private because I'm currently unemployed. So that kinda rules that out, unfortunately. From what I can find, my AD is a low dosage...but I just found on a website that it increases the chance of self harm, which I have done, and worsening depression...is my AD doing me more harm than good? Should I go off it?
I do, stand corrected. Will they perform the laparoscopy, then?!

I'd discuss, with your doctor, the side effects of your AD. I wouldn't do anything, without consulting with them, first. AD's aren't designed to come off cold turkey.
