"Unwilling to give a prescription when due"

I did not have a prescription in place at the chemist read for my dose. I was told that I had a clinic appointment the same day at 1pm so I could get it then. As I take my dose at around the same time every morning, 8.30/9am, I could not wait that long for a prescription, I Al ready suffer alot of issues mentally, and with my current home which they are fully aware of, I panic a lot.

I was suffering from withdrawals ad it had been well over 24 hours since my last dose. I was promised by my worker that no matter what there would always be a prescription there for me every single morning and I should never worry. Of course promising sombody who is very vunable and going trough drug addiction rehabilitation is extremely unprofessional and wrong.. I felt I needed to misuse because of this false promise, I was extremely upset and confused. I panic a lot about these things, again something they are aware of. I did text my worker, and also ring, I got the same answers... I was told that I just had to wait.

I did not misuse and manged to stay away from the drug I was addicted to.thankfully. at the same time sombody in position should not have to go trough this. And certainly not be promised that something would always be there, when it turns out that this was not the case. I have lost a lot of trust and faith in this service. A service were I should feel I can trust and rely on for help and surrport. The very people who are meant to help me, have took me a step back. I'm very disappointed with this. I' am considering finding a different service.
