Need A Note From Doctor Suggesting Time Away From Work, Stressed Out. Prescribed Ativan. Help

I have been suspended from work and feel stressed out and have been trying to find a doctor to give me a note for time away from work but so far this has made me feel worse. How can I get the help I need. I do not need more presrciptions but I do need time away from work. What can I do to get this break? I have been to the health clinic, I was told that the dr does not know me so he can not give note for work but gave me ativan, outpatient department dr says I was med seeking and gave me ativan, family dr is on vacation. What can I do?

This normally happens. Doctors don't give certificates to people whom they don't know or are not treating. This is because there were incidents where such certificates were used illegally. Go to a general physician and take treatment and prescription and after two days again go and ask for certificate. He should help.
Good luck.
