My GP is really annoyed that the day he wasn't in the doc covering sent me to the CPN who sent me to the psychiatrist I see now. My meds were changed from citalopram 20mg to diazepam 2mg 3 times daily and a zopiclone 7.5mg before bed. My pdoc also deemed me unfit for work but I went to the GP for sickline and he would only give it for one week as he is in total disagreement with the pdoc and thinks im just depressed and need ssri's, both of the ones I tried caused severe emotional problems and after having bloods taken an abnormally high hormone level was detected possibly from the citalopram. My pdoc was really angry that he was basically trying to undermine her authority, I have not been officially diagnosed but I am being treated as 'severe form of bipolar with psychotic features' the GP is convinced that I am just a bit depressed because I drink too much alcohol and smoke too much weed. 5 years ago this may have been the case but I barely drink anymore and since seeing the pdoc barely smoke as i would like to get better but he seems to be stuck on that idea. The pdoc has advised i change GP as in her opinion (and a couple others in the mental health field) believe for the time being i should not be working as i am too unstable and anti depressants do more harm than good (self harmed more on Prozac than any time in my life) i agree with the pdoc and am going to change GP as he has gave me unsuitable meds a few times now and I'm starting to get a bit paranoid about his intentions, the man has an emoitionless face and I've spent too many nights watching the crime channel lol.
