I went to my Doctors this morning to get a repeat prescription and told her that I upped the dose to 60mg from the 45mg that she prescribed me. I then asked her if I could up it to 75mg because I had read that is would be more effective for Social Anxiety and then she looked through her medical book and said that the maximum amount that she is allowed to prescribe me here by UK law is 45mg and I could only get more if I see a psychiatrist and they OK it. So She forwarded my details to a local centre and hopefully I will be able to get this done. I still have 10 tablets left from the last prescription (I delayed starting them for an extra week to be safe about my Amitiriptiline dose clearing out of my system) so I have enough to carry on taking 60mg for a month.
I just wanted to ask if anyone has ever tried saying that they lost there medication and then got prescribed more, or knows if this would work because I am wondering if this would work so I could continue taking 60mg past a month without my doc knowing?
