It depends on the circumstances. If the GP feels that you are in need of them, then they'll prescribe them but they will probably exercise caution because of your age; i.e. they may not go up to a high dose etc. If you tell the GP exactly how you feel and you make it clear how you feel, the the GP should give you the best course of treatment that's suitable to your needs. I think you should go talk to the GP and see what they say, and what they think is right for you, and then you decide if you agree.
