The main thing about GP's is they will probably only prescribe if your married, and have tried life style changes eg losing weight, giving up smoking etc.
I really don't think this is the case Kryss. GP's/ doctors don't give a damn about marital status etc. If however, you were turned down because of this - you have actually have cause for complaint to the Irish Medical Council.
