My local adhd prescriber has retired. The London clinic said they will ask the GP to prescribe. GP's have 'discussed' and won't do it till they get guidelines- although they have done before. Clinic said the GPS will prescribe, that they know this and have been asked to prescribe.
Why can't the professionals sort this out between themselves? So, 6.30 on Friday night the doctors receptionist is saying she is very sorry, but I cannot get my Concerta and it will not be prescribed. Three days after I requested. I am fuming. Taking this medication was a 'big deal' for me and I'm still in tritation process.
My concern is that when there was a delay getting prescription before, my emotions were all over the place and I was so on the edge. ðŸ˜

Hi jj11 . .I had a similar problem when I moved GPs . . I can't find the thread where I asked for help here, but the gist was that the leaflet that comes with your concerta says that you shouldn't suddenly stop . . . I went to my new GP and said that I wasn't going to leave until I got a prescription, or an explanation of why they wouldn't continue my treatment. . If you have a letter from your consultant, you can get your prescription anywhere. . including walk-in clinics and A&E. . .

I've found that thread . . .it's under 'Medications' and it's the next to last pinned thread
'GP Prescribing for ADHD meds' . .you might find some helpful info there.

What a palava. I managed to get two weeks prescription from GP but realised they have only given me one weeks because I'm on 36mg. They won't prescribe again. What a mess. I have the clinical commisioning group involved. I feel such frustration over this. Still coming to terms with the diagnosis, still full of regrets at ' what might have been', I just wish this could be a simple process. I did read that GPs only need a licence for children but I'm not sure.
Still, musnt give up...
