“Lucky me that I met these people! Tom and Felicity. Felicity did a great job with my arms and shoulder that were painful since a month. Thanks to Felicity's treatments I felt a great relief right away. Her professionalism suggested specific exercises that, practiced with constancy, completely resolved my pains. Thank you very much. *The place is very nice and clean, with a very well equipped gym!”

“Always exceptional care and attention to patients by all the staff, especially Tom. They go over and above to fit in emergency treatment.”

“I did Boxing PT session with Nathan and it was so enjoyable. He's very good, skilled and I honestly progressed so much in a small amount of time. Thank you! Looking forward to more sessions soon!”

“I have been using this pharmacy for over 20 years and have never had a serious problem. Occasionally there are delays in getting the prescription back from the doctors, but they have always been ready to give me an emergency supply if needed”

“Iris took the time to understand exactly what my skin needs, and gave me really good skincare recommendations. She explained the hydrafacial process in great detail, and allowed me to relax as much as I could during the process. It’s been a few days since the facial, and my skin feels so smooth and amazing.”

“I’ve just finished a course of shock wave therapy for a damaged Achilles and I can’t recommend this clinic enough. The staff are excellent, from the friendly, welcoming receptionists to the extremely knowledgeable chiropractor, Greg who administered the treatment, advised me on what I need to do in order to maintain a healthy Achilles and got me back walking normally again after just 6 treatments.”

“We have tried a small number of groomers in the past and Hugo has been so nervous and reluctant to go the last groomer, due to an incident... But then we found Eddie's!! The girls are absolutely amazing, Hugo runs up the stairs to see them and his tail is happy wagging the entire time. He always looks extra handsome once he comes out! I am so so happy with their service and would recommend to everyone. Also, the shop is amazing and we always get the best treats when we go!”

“Over the course of many years we took our cats here to be treated, always had great availability for emergency’s and whenever you would call the lovely ladies on reception give some great advice while you wait for your appointment etc. the whole team are so lovely welcoming & friendly. We recently had to say goodbye to one of our cats and the team were just amazing In making us feel relaxed and comfort we were doing the right thing. The lovely receptionist even asked the delivery man outside could he be as quiet as he can because our elderly cat was just inside the door waiting for her appointment. So affordable will definitely bring all pets here ! Thanks team x”

“I starting using this pharmacy under a year ago and have been so impressed by them. They are so professional, always go that extra mile to help with enquiries and are extremely friendly. I have never had an issues with obtaining the medication I’ve been prescribed, and if I’ve every needed them to follow up on anything for me, they’ve always complied with success. Cannot recommend them enough…”

“I've been visiting Dr Ross since March 2023. They fit me in at really short notice for my very severe back pain. Dr Ross was empathic kind and very understanding. He started working on me straight away and I'm now down to 1 visit every 2 weeks.I would highly recommend to anyone who needs a chiropractor. I will be continuing my visits and following all advice. 5+stars would give more if I could.”

“Potential Problems When Reducing and Discontinuing Neuroleptics Note: The following two sections are an excerpt translated by Markus Kaufmann (member of the expert committee) from Breggin 2013 (pp. 119 ff.). Dr. Peter Breggin is an American psychiatrist with extensive experience in reducing and discontinuing psychotropic medications. There is currently very little literature on this topic, particularly regarding the criteria for distinguishing between discontinuation symptoms and symptoms of the underlying psychiatric illness. "Any psychotropic drug can produce withdrawal or discontinuation symptoms. This occurs partly because the brain adapts to the psychotropic drug and is left in an abnormally compensated state when the dose of a medication is reduced or the medication is discontinued." ``` The following symptoms may occur when reducing and discontinuing neuroleptics: 1. Psychotic symptoms may occur during reduction and discontinuation as a result of changes in brain metabolism. They cannot always be reliably distinguished from the original psychotic disorder. They usually develop within days of the reduction and generally improve after 2–3 weeks. 2. Emotional lability or instability (such as anxiety, restlessness, paranoid reactions, depression, irritability, aggression, and increased energy). These also usually develop within days or weeks after reducing or discontinuing the medication. 3. Sleep disturbances can be distressing and contribute to instability. 4. Movement disorders (such as muscle stiffness, tremors, involuntary movements of the face, lips, jaw, tongue, arms, wrists, hands, fingers, legs, knees, toes, neck, shoulders, hips, restlessness) can, in rare cases, be pronounced and associated with restlessness and anxiety. 5. Cognitive impairments such as difficulty concentrating, attention deficit, forgetfulness, and distractibility. 6. Gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and abdominal pain. 7. Other physical symptoms such as flu-like symptoms including malaise, sweating, muscle cramps, paresthesia, rapid heartbeat, increased pain sensitivity, headaches, dizziness, and high blood pressure. The extent of these symptoms is significantly influenced by the size of the reduction step. Therefore, it is crucial to proceed slowly and with small reduction steps. Psychotropic medications are far, far more dangerous than the doctors who prescribe them would ever admit. I firmly believe that most people would never use psychotropic medications if they knew how dangerous they are, and I also believe that most doctors would stop prescribing them if they had any idea how dangerous they are. In 2003, the FDA added a warning about the increased risk of stroke to the U.S. prescribing information for risperidone. The same warning followed in 2004 for olanzapine and in 2005 for aripiprazole. Mood stabilizers are anticonvulsants that do not stabilize mood, but suppress emotional responses by sedating and calming people. Psychiatrists have never precisely defined this term. It's no surprise that doctors believe anticonvulsants work for mania, since anything that sedates people helps with mania. All information is provided without guarantee.
