Prozac prescription question (UK answers only please)

Question

Hi, just over 2 weeks ago my gp started me on prozac for depression. She said she'd see me again before it runs out and like an idiot I didnt book another appointment in advance straight away. This morning I called the surgery and am told shes away this week and next week she's fully booked. By the time she can see me I'll have gone about a week with no prozac which is obviously no good.

It seems my only option is to make an appointment with another dr at the surgery and am wondering what other people experiences are of seeing different dr's for a mental illness. Im a bit anxious as my gp was really understanding and nice about everything, and I've noticed a significant improvement in my mood since starting on prozac. Bit worried another gp may be reluctant to carry on the prescription??

Answer 1

No issues with seeing another GP - they will have access to your notes anyway. It would also be better than running out of a prescription
