"Unsuitable meds and no help"

I told my GP in December that the anti psychotics prescribed were not working and that my mood and depression was worse. Waited 5 weeks to see someone at Orsborn house, had a 35 minute chat, she had no knowledge of my last assessment or anything about me, apart from one time I had visited raid. I told her the anti psychotics aren't working they are only helping me sleep. I have now been told that I will have to wait until March until I see the doctor at the CMHT to review my medication.

I don't think anti psychotics are the way to treat anxiety and insomnia, I also think it's unethical to leave someone on meds that have such bad side effects when they are not helping the patient at all.

Twice I have been involved with Orsborn House and although the 3 women I have seen there are nice and friendly, I don't feel that the care or time given to assess is anywhere near the standards that are expected and advised.

I've given up requesting a change of meds, I will no longer be taking Quetiapine, I don't know what damage they are doing to me, I've had a huge surge in weight, crying uncontrollably and obsessive behaviours have become worse than ever.

The worst thing I ever did was ask my GP for help. It's caused nothing but even more stress and anxiety on top of the original stress and anxiety.

Giving medications should take consideration and should also be taken seriously when a patient is stating they are feeling worse.
