Hi Clouds. I too suffer with depression and anxiety which has worsened recently. If your psychiatrist is not helping, and it is taking 3 weeks to get in to see the new one, would it be advisable to go to your regular medical doctor to ask him or her how you can be helped until then? I know you said the meds your psychiatrist has given do not help. Some psychiatric drugs can have a side effect of worsened depression. So some of this might perhaps be due to incorrect drugs for you. Not saying it is, just saying its possible. Believe me, I am a proponant of medication. I take it myself. Some psychiatrists just know how to rx the right combo of meds. Others, not so much. I hope you find some help in the interum until you can get in to see the new psychiatrist. And of course, keep posting here. Now that you have begun to post, you already have people here who care and can hear how excruciating this is for you.
