I am unorganized, flighty, and depressed. I have gone to new doctors because I do not live where I did before. The FP put me on 150mg Wellbutrin but was afraid to diagnose the ADHD. The psychiatrist increased the Wellburtin to 450mg, Prozac 40mg, and Celexa 40mg I think because he is concerned about my depression (I can't say for sure because he does not answer questions). I am still unorganized, late to work, not finishing projects, and anxious because I am afraid I will get fired. I have noticed that now, unlike before, I am unable to cry when I get upset- I just dry heave until I vomit blood. I called the doctor's office and the recpetionist (without consulting even a nurse or PA) told me it takes time for the medicine to work. Should I be concerned and how do I find a doctor that can help me?

I definitely would be concerned. You could ask around for a doctor who will help you. I don't care for doctors who don't answer my questions. Vomitting blood isn't good for your stomach. Tell the doctor you need answers. When you call the doctor's office, ask for a nurse or the doctor. She isn't qualified to answer your questions.
The doctor, also, should ask for your records from your last doctor. My current doctor did this and he said it helps him to treat me.
