paxil prescription

Im a foreign student and have been studying in the uk since october. I have also been on paxil since october, but just ran out of it today. I dont know where I can get more of the stuff, because I was prescribed it for depression in my home country.

Do I go to the doctor, or can I get it from a pharmacy or something?

I hear the withdrawal symptoms are awful so all the help i can get is appreciated.

Go to a doctor and tell them you are on paroxetine - this is the generic name as in the last 6 months there has been a shift in the UK from the branded Seroxat to the generic. Also remember to tell him what dose and he can arrange suitable repeat or private prescriptions.
