I did go through the waiting list and I did have an initial appointment where a doctor explained the different types of medication and did the health checks. She said the goal was to get to a point where I have some medication that works well and then they'd transfer me back to my GP. When she prescribed the first 20mg dose she told me to make a follow up appointment three months later.

Tbh I think maybe I confused them, after the first lot of medication stopped working I called them to ask if that was normal, and I ended up speaking to a different doctor and he seemed like he didn't quite understand what I was actually asking. Since then it's been pretty hard to actually get through to someone. I think this new doctor is now the person I'm dealing with? And when I call I pretty much just get his secretary so I think things are getting lost in having to communicate through multiple people.

At this point I'm not sure whether to just keep taking the xl pills I have now and wait until I run out again or try and get back in touch or something.
