I'm back from the GP.
Sent an online form to the #NHS surgery at 08:50 today, at 09:20 I got a text with an appointment at 10:30. Went in to see the GP at 10:20. Can't fault that.
He was absolutely convinced that the low mood I've been experiencing, alongside the occasional nightmares, and slightly odd behaviour, are all due to the Finesteride I was prescribed for my enlarged prostate.
He implied that I shouldn't have been prescribed it because of my history of depression.
He agreed that I'm right to stop taking it, but the mood issues may not resolve quickly.
I'm waiting for a referral to a Urologist now.
Result!

@MikeFromLFE@cupoftea.social hope it's not too long a wait.
