I am asking on one of the lists I belong to if anyone in the UK knows a quick way to get this drug here. Some of them know a lot more about how the NHS works than I do. However I might not hear anything back for a little while, it's late tonight.

I'm wondering what I would do if it were me. I know that at my doctor's surgery there are several docs, any of whom I could see in open surgery the next morning. If my GP wasn't playing ball I would go to one of the others. I also know that there is no open surgery at that practice on a Friday morning and I would be shunted to the surgery down the road, so again I'd be able to see another doc. That's happened to me a few times and that doc was more than happy to try to get me on some benzos.

Is there a way you can see a different doc in an open surgery tomorrow morning, tell them point blank that you are in cold turkey withdrawal and suffering terribly, and want more pills? Most of these docs don't have much of a clue, but I think it's likely you'll be able to find one who will believe what you say. It is common knowledge that benzos are highly addictive and cause withdrawal so why your own doc is being such a bastard about this I don't know.

I hope this helps Tracy. Why would he pick now of all times to do this to you??

Linda.
