Due to husband being a numpty and booking a doc appointment for next fri as opposed to the fri just gone I have now missed two days of tablets and feel like my head is going to fall off, or I am going to fall over, plus feel sick and not sleeping. Just been to my chemist and got five days emergency supply as I felt so rough. Is this normal? 😞😞😞

    Hi there

    Yes - absolutely normal, I am afraid!

    I would phone your GP surgery tomorrow morning, and ask for a re-prescription to be made out for you asap. It always seems to happen at the WE, doesn't it?

    Perhaps make sure that you have a week's supply in hand at all times, so it doesn't happen again.

    Best wishes
