Weekends are always the toughest being in your own head for too long. I got excited over the news that this nasal depression spray [removed by moderator] will be available for people who are suffering with treatment resisited depression on the P.B.S. only to find out it's restricted to private health hospitals. Also the NDIS cannot help with it.i have s referal from the GP and cannot afford it still. I'm in western Australia. I've called public hospitals and they don't do it. So much for that.

@Yeahright86 just letting you know I've edited your post - we ask members not to share the names of their medications as per the Guidelines.
Ugh, sucks that you are hitting so many barriers to accessing your medication!! That is really frustrating. Have you had a chance to speak to the prescribing doctor about it?

Thank you. Yes the gp only knows of that private hospital. I've contacted public hospitals too. It's a dead end. I just felt like you guys should know what's happening here in Western Australia. If any good or change comes out of it that would be awesome to see.
