Hi.can anyone help me out there.I live in the uk.
I had been seeing a psychologist for family problems since last year,my psychologist was due to retire in the spring.In February i suffered a hypomanic episode according to my psychologist,while in the session she said i needed to be on Meds and spoke to a psychiatristrist,the next day my gp gave me a prescription for Chlorpromazine 50mg 3x day,this was way to much for me,so i went to my gp and was turned away,i tried to speak to the psychiatric nurse to no avail in desperation my husband phoned the hospital and was turned away.My psychologist tried to speak to someone in psychiatry to no avail.
Eventually i had an appointment at psychiatry and was sent away with Risperdal a months worth,this disagreed with me,three weeks later i had to see the Senior house officer at my local surgery,i told him i felt suicidal and the voices were getting me down,he didin’t believe me and sent me to my gp.I have seen my gp 3 times and he doesn’t believe me,except he upped my dose and has sent an e-mail to my supposed psychiatrist who i have never met!!!
I have to see my gp next week,i really don’t want to take any more meds as i have no real support in place and nobody believes i am suicidal.
My husband wants me in the hospital to be monitored,but nobody believes him!!!
Can anyone out there help,my husband feels if i stop the meds i will have a relapse,also how long is long enough to be diagnosed,my problems have been ongoing for three years!!
