I normally make sure I have a couple of weeks supply left when I get a new prescription, just so that I don't completely run out. Have you left the prescription with the chemist? Why don't you ask for it back and take it to another chemist that definitely has a supply?
Who knows how you will feel if you don't take it at all and go cold turkey? When you are peri your hormones can fluctuate so much, you may feel ok for a while and on the other hand you may not. I reduced my Femoston from 2mg to 1mg and felt ok for a couple of months but by month 4 I needed to go back to 2mg. I feel very settled on 2mg and am not prepared to mess about with doses now.
Sorry for sounding frantic to all on this thread.
I'm just worried that cold turkey femoston 2/10 will make me go mental.
Another chemist will not dispense femoston, because there is another drug on the same prescription slip that boots have already dispensed.
I also like to get my new femoston two weeks before I am due to run out, but when I originally rang the surgery about two weeks ago, I chose the option of an appointment a few weeks ahead, because I could just book it then and there.
It wasn't possible to get the date I wanted, i.e. last week, unless I rang first thing when they opened the following week. i.e. last week.
You need to ring at 8am, and my symptoms are that bad that I am too anxious to ring for an appointment in that same week, because even if you ring at the minute the surgery opens, the lines are often engaged or you are on hold a long time, there is always the possibility that all the appointments have gone by the time you get through.
I worry in the back of my mind that I may run out of femoston, and that is why I rang 2wks in advance. I never actually thought there really would be a problem obtaining femoston, I thought I was just being paranoid so I dismissed the idea.
I went mental after stopping tranquilisers, and I am scared of the same thing happening again. I was actually getting my kit together to commit suicide back then, and was only stopped by not being able to get hold of a specific bit of equipment i needed to kill myself.
I did seek medical help and went on medication but I wish I hadn't as I used to do art, and now I just cant be arsed. They dull my mind and make me feel like a part of me is dead.
I have had CBT and use the tools to this day.
Emotionally (excluding meno related emotions) I have actually got myself together really well this last few years.
With perimeno anxiety and depression, however, any woman who has had it really bad knows that it is all dominating and all consuming, and I just want the old me back.
I don't want to go back there again.
All I need to know, is this likely if I suddenly stop, because it's looking like I am going to be forced to stop for a few weeks till my doc comes back and I can get an appointment.
I will ring the doctors tomorrow and hope for the best, but I am absolutely dreading it.
