Hi Luke2020,

Thank you so much for sharing, it's really brave of you.

Sometimes it great to chat with your GP, that might be a great idea for tomorrow?

I know the pain of different medications, if you stay strong your GP might be able to help you, oh so much. The BeyondBlue helpline is also great help, give it a call, just say hi and see if you like the consultant.

Stay strong Luke2020, and I'd love to hear how you are.

Regards,

Doz
