After years of being fobbed off by my GPs, I'm now under the care of a consultant psychiatrist - not following a referral from my GP but at the insistance of my CPN. Even now, with a fax from my psych in his hand, my GP refuses to prescribe what he calls dangerous combinations and too high a dose for my "mild depression", of course, he prefixes his statement with, "I'm no expert, but in my opinion"...
Rant over, but question remains - do GPs prescribing ads do more harm than good through their lack of experience.
