Does your pdoc have a group practice? If so, they usually have an on-call doc who can help you through the immediate crisis, until you can see your own. Last summer when I was going through a manic episode and my pdoc was on vacation, the on-call counseled me over the phone and prescribed Zyprexa to bring me down.....thankfully, at the office I go to a psychiatrist is always available, and this one probably helped me avoid a hospitalization.

You shouldn't have to wait seven weeks to get help when your illness is out of control. Surely there's somebody who can assist you in the meantime, even if it's an on-call doctor or your county mental health department.
