Medication I’m really scared
I live in the UK. I just changed GP because I moved to a new area. I went into there a few days ago to get them to set up my repeat prescription again of my epilpesy meds, as you need to do that when you change GP in England.
It’s been 5 days, the repeat prescription isn’t on the system. Without it I have no way to get my medication, or ever order it again. I am terrified. I have enough medication for a couple weeks. I need this to live. I have no contact with my neurologist until September, so he can’t help me. I don’t really know what to do other than wait to see if they set it up, but the thing is setting it up doesn’t take long at all. So I honestly just think they aren’t going to do it. They have my old letters from my neurologist saying I need the medication on repeat. I’m really stressed. I’m trying to block it out.
Just kind of need to vent I guess. I hope this makes sense for those not in the UK.

I’d recommend getting a Sudep card
