So I went to my GP 2 weeks back,
and told him I was put on SSRI's and mirtazipine at the beginning of last year,
which increasingly lead to suicidal tendencies and sertraline had me drinking myself to death throughout the year. It ruined me.
I went from anxious to suicidal because of these drugs that GP's are more than willing to write a prescription for Sertraline (zoloft) and similar drugs, any time you ask, and they just give you a phone number for a CBT waiting list. They are more than happy to give me something that makes me suicidal basically.
Now I know more than a handful of other classes of drugs and have tried every benzo I can get my hand on but tend to stick with valium, the problem is where i order it from online takes weeks to show up and my anxiety slumps into such a state where I can barely talk to seize to function normally in between waiting times for it show up. Its all good taking a tolerance break but after 3 or so weeks i start to develop agoraphobia and social phobia off the chart until i cant leave my room.
This leads me to drinking alcohol to feel the same way that I would have anxiety relief from particular benzos and other classes of drugs they would never even try me on. At this point i have tried everything I can get my hands on but when I bring up any other class of drugs like MAOIs etc they dont seem to have a clue what Im talking about. Our medical system is broken. My mental health is broken and they are forcing me into the hands of alcoholism because its the only thing available to me.
What am I supposed to do? Why do they force me into alcoholism instead of trusting me to medicate myself properly?
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
Sorry for the rant
