How do I get a perscription without a GP

Hi! For 3 weeks I have been trying to get a GP assigned to me, I have been working in Netherlands for a month, and I do have insurance. There is no empty slot for me in Bergen Op Zoom unfortunately.

I am going through an SNRI (venlafaxine) withdrawal now, it's the first day and it is already bad. I have tried during the last 3 weeks:

-Visisting all huispraktijks in person where I can't even pay out of pocket

-Going to a hospital 30 minutes ago

-Going to huisartsenpost 10 minutes ago

-Had a lenghty chat with my insurance provider

Nothing worked, what I have been offered is a perscription for one pill for €50 at huisartsenpost.

What do I do now? Is there nothing I can do within a reasonable timeframe like 48h? I am willing to visit Rotterdam, Amsterdam, whatever. I just need help.

TL;DR

Out of antidepressants, don't have a GP because no slots in my area, hospital doesn't care.
