I am almost 24 weeks pregnant. I went off all my meds when I found out I was pregnant- I was on anti-depressants, anti anxiety, sleeping pill, and another one to help prevent nightmares.

I have been anti-medication while pregnant, since day one. I have felt like if I could just make it through the short period of time I was pregnant, I'd go back on the meds afterwards. No big deal right?

I've done ok throughout the pregnancy so far, even while fighting many stressors- my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer, for one. But lately I've hit a wall, and I decided it's time for help.

In my chart with my psychiatrist, there is a plan in place for this such situation. It says that my doctor has approved it for me to call in and get a prescription for a milder anti depressant (supposed to be safe during pregnancy), and then I'm supposed to make an appointment to see her within 2 weeks. Well the appointment was made, but it's not until June 6th. In the meantime, the nurses are supposed to be returning my call and getting me the prescription. I called LAST FRIDAY at 8am and still have not heard anything!! Is this not ridiculous??? My therapist and another practictioner I work with have both made calls and requests on my behalf trying to get some sort of response.

Meanwhile, my depression gets worse.
