In reply to New UK guidelines for ADs, may interest some, posted by jclint on December 6, 2004, at 8:47:01
> Hey guys, in the UK there has been some significant movement in AD prescription guidelines. It looks like doctors are being asked to take a more cautious stance. I don't know if its in the best interests of a lot of people, but I'm sure you will be interested in the results.

> Look at my threat further down, or have a look here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4071145.stmI went to my GP a few months ago asking for some anti depressents to "pick me up". he refused on the grounds that I'm Schizophrenic and I'd need to see a pshychiatrist to get them. You know so I could get the Ap's that go with them. He even went as far as to refuse to refer me to a pshychiatrist. Told me instead to take vitamins everyday for a month or two and see if I still needed "picking up" Oddest thing of all is it actually worked. He potentialy saved me from some rather nasty side effects. and the NHS a sizeable bill.
