Warning may cause drowsiness

So, I ended up back at my GP’s surgery last Thursday. “What can I do for you today?” “Well I was here just over four weeks ago, saw the locum GP but the tablets he gave me for my Menieres have had no effect.” “Right let’s take a look at his notes. Ah, I can see the problem, he’s only given you an 8mg dose and you should be on 16mg. This medication is probably the best out there for relieving your symptoms. I’ll do you another prescription and I’ll put on two repeats so that if you feel you need more then you can just get it without waiting for another appointment. How is the tinnitus?” “Absolutely terrible, I can hear it all the time. No matter what I’m doing or what’s going on around me it’s there. You do get used to it though.” “Have you ever had any hearing tests done?” “No. I was simply diagnosed in my GP’s surgery in Cambridge about 8 years ago, never had any tests done for it though.” “Ah right, I’ll refer you to ENT at Chester, hopefully they’ll be able to see quite quickly. There are some good tinnitus maskers around these days.” So, stronger meds, and a referral to the hospital - sounds a bit better than my visit of (now) 5 weeks earlier.
