A month ago my Dr (who is lovely) upped my dose of Sertraline(sp?) to 100mg from 50.
I'm due to see her tomorrow but have just had a call from the practice saying she is off sick and the next time a dr can see me is monday. I tried to explain that I only have one pill left and could they not book me an emergency appointment tomorrow however the rude receptionist said they were for emergencies only. Also tried to explain that I have been experiencing quite bad ear ache since Friday but put off going to the emergency clinic over the bank holiday as I knew I was seeing my Dr but she didn't care.
My option is to try and get an emergency appointment tomorrow but she told me there were two left so they would probably go today. I asked how they could go today as she told me I'd have to call for it tomorrow and she hung up!!
This comes a few days after a Dr (who I had already complained about) called me after receiving a report from my therapist saying I had admitted thoughts of self harm the weekend they upped my dose. He was incredibly rude, had clearly not read my file and kept saying I had to come in and see a dr asap 'before you kill yourself'. I ended up hanging up on him after trying to explain the situation and that I HAD an appointment but he kept being incredibly rude and forceful.
I would go to a walk in centre but my GP practice is the walk in centre for my area and when I've tried this before they have refused to see me because I'm registered.
Until I had this phone call I had been panic attack free for 2 whole, glorious weeks. Now I'm a shaking mess with chest pains and the worst ear ache I've ever had. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm anaemic again.
Is it true you can get withdral symptoms from Sertraline? It took so much to stick with them that I'm petrified that missing the dose is going to send me back to day one.
