It's you and the doc in a room.
Questions are asked and notes are taken.
And that's about it.
I've had a quick medical in one but otherwise it's going to be sitting and talking.

I totally empathise with you, I had a similar situation a few weeks ago. I was told by my psychiatrist that I was getting some concerta prescribed, and after waiting a week (which I thought was quite patient for me, I counted the hours) I called his secretary. She was so indifferent about it, telling me that he has not had time to speak to my GP yet. Well that was it, I went off on a rant, telling her how it was so important to me, that everything else in my life had stopped because of it. I got my prescription about 3 hours later. Been on them 15 days now, and so much improvement. I hope you get your meds soon.

still aint got them am really getting pissed of now apparantly my gp is now waiting for a letter from shrink grrrrrrr Call your psychiatrists secretary, explain the situation you are in (i.e. you have ADHD and making you wait is like torture). Ask if he will prescribe some until you get your prescription sorted out with your GP. Hopefully you will then get a prescription that you can pick up from the hospital that will keep you going. Keep pestering them! John

Snickerz, apologies if I sound dogmatic but I would advise you to chase your psych office today, get them to send it or fax it or email today without fail, then everything should be in place for a script when you visit your GP again on Friday. They really are taking the piss and simply not doing their job, there is no excuse for correspondence to take this long - kick some ass!
