Hi Nick
You wouldn't get them on the PBS, you would pay full price. This is Australia I'm talking about. You can see any doctor (need a referral for specialists), though there again you would have to pay all of it. (No Medicare rebate) In which case there would be no need for a referral. In the UK its different, isn't it? Couldn't understand it when I was there, gee 30 years ago maybe. Anyway the dr I saw for benzos even though I had a letter from my Australian psych, she hated prescribing them and calculated the no. of tablets to the day in her script. She probably had a point, but I felt it was this tight English thing. Could you look up MIMS online to find out what drugs are available here?
