Hiya,
> Anyone had any experience of a plain GP prescribe them anything 'stronger' or more exotic???
my GP will prescribe pretty much anything that he can find in the BNF so long as it seems to make sense. I have to tell him about it though and be subtle about suggesting it like saying my pharmacist suggested it, rather than I found in on google or here lol. Another thing which also works for me is to get the GP to phone a psychiatrist and get advice whilst I am are there.

Good luck, Bunny
