Back again

Back again and no further on in my quest. The GP prescribed me 'beta blockers' to try and deal with the pressure obviously going on in my arteries, but he simply wanted me out of his surgery, and they were horrible. He was so uninterested. So I went to a different GP who was lovely. She listened and had actually read my notes which was more than the last GP. Sadly though she too has prescribed me anti-depressants which have hideous side effects, including anxiety and sleeplessness. She's said these are short term just until I can get to a tinnitus retraining clinic and she can think of another specialist that I can go and see. To be honest, I think I'm so stressed that no-one is going to sort this out. By the end of it all I'll need counselling! What they don't realise is that I'm only depressed because of the noise. I can't sleep. Simple as that. And soon the sleeping pills will stop being prescribed. It's very difficult to go to work on no sleep.
