Otherwise simply ask your GP of someone that specialises in SA (which is what I did) and keep calling around until you find someone that prescribes medications based on an individual's need...not from what commercially flavor of the year med is being promted. You've been through enough. Ask if they give the patient the option of many different treatments INCLUDING bzds on an equal footing with all others. Pay for a consultation if you have to if they aren't going to return your call or the attending assistant is being deliberately obtuse.
If your GP doesn't give you enough names then ask him if he's willing to be responsible for the health ramifications of your untreated anxiety. That should give him a little incentive...as in liability. The long term degenerative effects of untreated anxiety disorders are well known and he surely knows about that.
Rediculous - these socialised medical systems, one-size-fits-all cookie cutter mentality screw ups are a menace...especially in Britian.
