Just after receiving a voice mail from a "Fiona" - don't know what she is -= a nurse, receptionist or whatever - I do know she is not a doctor.
All surgeries (mine are closed on a Wednesday) - has left a message saying could you contact surgery to get your medication reviewed.
Now I am worried that they are going to take me off the anxiety tablets - I will be like a string bean again. My sis thinks it is a nurse who thinks they can take you off the tablets so she is suggesting if it happens for me to go back to the doctors who I told you before wants everybody off these anxiety tablets. If I am knocked back - who next can you go to. btw I am on other tablets - ie statatins but do think it is the anxiety tablets. Rang the number immediately back but that;s their day off - no answer.
"Now I am worried that they are going to take me off the anxiety tablets "
I hope you can see the funny side of that statement ;-)
'Reviewed' may be they are going to give you more tablets? or a higher dose? All you can do is ring the surgery tomorrow,forget about it until tomorrow.
make an appointment to see your gp, it's not uncommon to have your medication reviewed, explain to gp about your anxiety issues, write a list of your concerns and take it with you, nurses do not stop medication,
J J....this happened at my surgery a few years ago with Temazepam....they wanted to get everybody off them...that's when I was put on Diazepam. I'm going to see if I can find out if anything's been said about Diazepam now,....give me a while +I'll get back to you. Then only way they'll get my Diazepam off me is out of my cold dead hand......;)
jenny -do you not have a practice nurse at your surgery? you may get in to see her earlier than a doctor. ( I can't believe people are waiting weeks to see a GP its ridiculous)
