Experience 1) Locum Dr seen as new patient requiring repeat prescription for antidepressants.
Experience 2) collection of repeat prescription incorrectly dosed lower by receptionist and then suggested I collect a 2nd prescription to get the right amount = double prescription costs
Experience 3) asked to see a Dr with an interest or added experience in mental health as wanted to discuss coming off antidepressants and was told they're all the same, saw Dr who recommended I cut down by more than half and gave no advice on withdrawal symptoms or how to cope. After researching this topic, there are many health warnings attached, that I am experiencing and no support or warning from the Dr I saw. Talk about patient care, couldn't wait to get me out the room. With possible side effects of suicidal thoughts you'd think they may have spent some time on it.
Overall, a health service that feels like they're just going through the motions. Will be looking to move practice.
