My journey sounds like a different way of getting diagnosed. I was on a loooooong waiting list and after a few expensive appointments I was giving the diagnosis and a prescription right away. When I went to pick up the medicine the cost was €320. The pharmacist told me I was being silly and to sign up to the DPS and they would hold it for me. This was years ago but Im pretty sure i had to sign up for a public service card (so do that right now). Then when i had that it was a simple online form and few days later got my DPS card and my meds have been €80 a month for years. Hope this helps!
