Consultant vs GP

[ruthandsam]

Who has the overall say on what medication you are prescribed? I'm under a consultant following a 2 week stay in hospital in June, however, I have not had my medication reviewed and my appointment is not until end of September.

I believe my meds needs either the dose changing or another introducing asap, however, the GP will not prescribe me anything as he said that it is for the consultant to decide. I have had my appointment cancelled twice and am not due to see the consultant until end of Sept as no other appts are available what the hell do I do? I want to get back to work but do not feel able because of the medication.

I have an appt to see the GP tomorrow but I am wondering if I am wasting my time - it is so frustrating as my work are ringing me asking when I am going to go back to work.

Thank you ABers for your kind words and advice. Couldn't have persevered without your support! xxx

Got my appointment to see the consultant this afternoon as managed to get an earlier appt. Getting my knickers in a twist now as I'm not sure that I am able to put across exactly how I've been feeling and how it affects others......gulp
