NHS and antidepressants

Hi everyone i've been stalking for a while and this is my first post.

Basically I don't want to go into too much detail but i'm undiagnosed and recently i've been so much worse (today I woke up hungover having cut my arm 26 times) and i left university on an impulse and am now back home for 2 days. The train journey was hell, i can just feel peoples eyes piercing me judging me for being so ugly and unpresentable and this is an everyday thing now.

I've decided that its a good idea to go the doctors and hopefully get prescribed some sort of antidepressant to keep my head above water but I am going back to college until christmas after tomorrow.

I've also started counselling with my college and my question is, will a GP be able to prescribe me anti depressants, and 'ive done research and am only really willing to risk fluoxetine. Will they give a course and see how i am after i get back in 6 weeks or will they have to follow some sort of procedure and see some sort of therapist, which I obviously won't be able to do because I'm going back on friday.
any experience or advise would be great thanks.

Im an 18 year old* male btw

Hi there, as i can see from your question it seems you are only wondering if a GP is able to prescribe AD's ?
Then the answer is yes, i've been on Prozac, Seroxat and Venlafaxine and i gotten them all from my GP.

He will ask you a few questions though as to why you feel like this and for how long etc, just don't expect to walk in and ask for them and walk out with a piece of paper, or don't go in and say '' i think i need some ....'''
Mine asked me how long i was feeling bad etc , eating and sleeping pattern, etc.

Usually they will try to fish out if your not just grieving over something or feeling blue and if the feelings are there long enough to warrant depression, that is how i got diagnosed with MDD before BPD and he sent me off on Prozac first, which didn't work in low or high doses ( but that doesn't mean it doesn't work for you, but AD's are hit and miss on people ) so all in all you might have to go back down the line and ask for something else.

Take care
