I've told loads of drs that I feel suicidal, never ended up in pysch ward. Once had to do a three week day session programme, it was actually quite helpful. At the time.
Last October after going to a and e five days after taking the od (partner was aware and I was out for 18 hours, he didn't call an ambulance, still mulling over that one, I'm glad he didn't but at the same time, mmn yeah, made an appointment with my GP at his request which happened five days after ..) GP told me to go to a and e straight away and even offered to call me an ambulance.
Yeah no thanks Dr.
Went to a and e, spent a day there had bloods run several hours later talked to the pysch person explained that I was thoroughly fed up and just wanted to go home and home I went.
A month later I was traveling to stay with family for an extended period and as I was going abroad, Dr gave me enough meds to cover that period of travel.
Have enough amitriptyline in the house at the moment to open a small pharmacy.
But I want to know why it didn't work.
Took 20 or so amitriptyline, two bottles of wine, 20 cirtazine (sp antihistamine prescribed for vertigo) at least twenty melatonin and 50 MLS of Methadone.
I don't understand how I survived that and really wish that I had not.
Anyone able to give me an idea of why it didn't work?
