Where to get advice on medication

Downsideup

In the distant past I have been miss diagnosed snd incorrectly medicated. I now find my self in need of medication to help me manage myself and child. Neither of us are in danger but I find myself stuck and in shutdown far to often and I'm unable to be an efficient carer. 

I find the GP too rushed you're given a medication and go back to try another months later snd nothing gets better.  

Im hoping to find someone that I can ask questions explain my complex situation snd get good advice to ask my GP to prescribe.

Is there such a thing? I am undiagnosed but triaged and on an infinite waiting list. There seems no help in South Wales. 

Thank you

  • I’m in mid-Wales. I find it depends which GP I see at the surgery. When you go to GP and they say take X. Do you ask why and how that will affect things? Have you asked for a referral to a psychiatrist with a string awareness of neurodivergence? It’s unlikely a GP will have the breadth and depth of knowledge.

    Being honest I haven’t found anyone who does have that ability.
