The private prescription she won't talk about is quite triggering for me actually.....There is always some dodgy doctor that doesn't ask too many questions and is willing to over-prescribe. I can say this is true, because I sought out one of those dodgy doctors, when I was still flush with my partner's legacy.
I was getting fucked up on all kinds of illegal drugs, my cocktail of drugs on a weekend (everything, and I mean everything from speed and ecstasy, to crack and heroin) make me quite ashamed now, though looking back it was all tied to my grief. The so called doctor would give me anything I wanted really from sleepers to Prozac, Valium to Viagra (who could get a hard on full up of other drugs?). These doctors, especially ones to those so called "celebrities", are easy to find........... in place like the Groucho for instance. That is how I found mine, through a celebrity acquaintance. This doctor is now struck off, thankfully, but there are many many more.
Not that I am suggesting that JM is getting her medication from a dodgy doctor, just putting my experience out there. Why get a private prescription at great expense when it is medication available on the NHS for those that need it? Very strange state of affairs, especially for someone who is known for saying they have limited funds.
Edited to just add that this period of my life is far behind me and I am doing OK. Though I still get that yearning to go out and get completely trashed and fucked up.....just not got the funds anymore, and now sensible enough not to get into debt.
