Practical Advice Pharmacy in the UK that won't dispense meds

Hi @may71 Here are some thoughts:

Do you know for certain that someone will listen, and if so, who would you (she) be dealing with in the hoped-for negotiations? It's important to know what you're up against so you can plan.

It concerns me that if she is forced into hospital she has nobody to look after her pets. Worrying about this must put a huge strain on her, which in turn makes her mental health worse.

If she had an address in their system it might help get the pharmacies to issue the meds, is that right? TIf so then housing is up there at the top of the list of things to sort out.

I am so sorry, she is in a terribly tight spot which doesn't offer much freedom.

No, I'm not sure what would happen.
I think she would have to be the one doing the negotiation.
I think the last time she was hospitalized the police took them.

Thank you Seabird

I think I've done what I can do, I don't think I can do much more.

She's got a pharmacy now. I'm not sure how she was able to work it out, it happened while I was (mostly) away from SF.

The problem now is that she's suicidal, and there hasn't been enough time for the meds to kick in yet.

That seems not to have been the issue. The issue was that they were refusing to give her any medication on the grounds that there was a risk of prescription. In other words, because she's overdosed before, they were claiming that they couldn't give her any medication at all.
