message to surgery

When I ordered citalopram several days ago nothing came. I phoned the Charlbury chemist who said no prescription had been received. I then tried again online but the message was GP has cancelled the order. Please see what I said about going off the rails.

In a telephone conversation with Dr Partiger she said that treatment for autism is virtually unavailable. I said I know the situation having served on the Hereford Autism Partnership Board for several years before coming to Charlbury three years ago.

I have been taking citalopram for several years and it is the only "treatment" offered by the NHS.

Had a message asking me to contact the Chief Pharmacist. I avoid conversations like the plague and phoning is a nightmare. I often feel fobbed off. He can post me a letter or send an email. alanfharrison@icloud.com

Dr Partiger is about to call me in following an xray. She knows about the autism situation. I am not prepared to wait until then before citalopram is back on my list so deal with it immediately please. Weekend is imminent and it will be over a week since I last took citalopram.

This message won't go until I tick the " I confirm that my enquiry is not urgent," box but, obviously, it is urgent.
