Hi, hoping someone has some ideas/advice... Moved to the Gold Coast approx 3mths ago, had repeats for xanax so foolishly left finding a decent doctor until I had one week's supply left.
Recommended to see particular GP - quack. Refused to prescribe regular medication even after he was provided with my medical records from NQ, which included a care plan to gradually titrate my dosage of xanax (voluntary). Sought second opinion - quack. Over prescribing limits for xanax for that month allegedly. He referred me to a psychiatrist ($300/hr) - quack. Did not look at me during whole consultation, didn't look at any medical records; gave me 5 days supply of xanax and a prescription for Lexapro and Epilim. (Started on 1000mg/day - never had before, nasty.)
Rang previous GP in North Queensland - couldn't even speak directly to him but was told he would not prescribe unless I presented in person (1500kms away).
So... ideas, suggestions, advice on what to say to triage at ER? (very likely going in today)
Thanks for reading.
PS: Apologies for TMI - tend to waffle when stressed :/
