No medication for 4 months 😭😢

Posted By ACF

"No medication for 4 months 😭😢"

About: Blossomwood

(as a service user),

I received a phone call from my psychiatrist regarding stopping my medication due to it making my restless legs worse as well as making me feel agitated. I was told that there were two alternatives. But then I was told that I can’t be started on either of them until my appointment in 4 months.

This means 4 months of no medication that actually helps 😭

Thank you. I’m seen in outpatients. I was one of Dr Butters patients before he left.
