What to do in an emergency

Edited

Please note that we do not provide any emergency services. If you feel unwell due to your medication or require urgent medical assistance:

✋ Stop taking the medication immediately
- ADHD medication can be discontinued abruptly without adverse effects and does not require tapering off, unlike some other medications.

📞 Get advice from NHS 111 (select the mental health option) or ask for an urgent GP appointment if:
- You are not able to speak to your local NHS urgent mental health helpline.
- You need help urgently for your mental health, but it's not an immediate emergency.
- You're not sure what to do.

🩺 Visit your GP if you need support with your general health and wellbeing, or to  access mental health services.

🚨 Call 999 or go to A&E now if:
- Someone's life is at risk – for example, they have seriously injured or have taken an overdose
- You do not feel you can keep yourself or someone else safe

Please discuss any adverse reactions or concerns you may have with your clinician at your next appointment.
