I've just had a specialist nurse confirm they won't give me certain medications that have a reputation for impulse control side effects.

So called "dopamine agonists" are prescribed for Parkinson's disease, but have this reputation for causing such things as problem gambling, compulsive shopping, use of pornography, etc.

However, so does the main medication at higher levels, and though they haven't admitted THAT is capped for the same reason, they ARE refusing to increase it any further, citing "addiction concerns".

Is this legal? Personally as the victim it feels like torture. Unfortunately even though I didn't commit the offence, it comes under the "unforgivable" umbrella, and I do have a previous caution from 2010 for the same "sort" of images ("same sort" in the public's mind, though the 50 or so images found on my computer were nowhere near as "bad" as those I was convicted of watching on zoom in 2017...and no images of any sort were on any of my 20 plus devices)...

...sigh...

Why do I bother. No one cares and many would be quite happy for me to be tortured to the end of my days. You can do that if you like, but don't pretend it's justice. It's your hatred, nothing more.

Oh and by the way...for my original offence in 2010, the forensic psychologist prescribed 60mg Prozac, saying it helped reduce "inappropriate fantasies". Five years later I'm diagnosed with Parkinson's...which a Google search reveals is now linked to use of Prozac.

I never used to be paranoid...but then the nurse admitted they're denying me certain drugs, so it's not a case of "what if?" any more, it's just "How far will they go?"
