Tau, I'm sorry you are feeling so low. Actually, it's a good thing that the doctor thinks you need Lexapro, and that your pdoc can handle the prescribing! You won't have to return to THAT doctor again!

Lexapro will help you, I'm pretty sure. It's a good drug.

IF you really feel like you can't wait, then don't do anything to yourself, but, like the others said, ASK for help. I mean, call your pdoc and say, I'm not sure I can even wait for the medicine to go to work or something like that. This is important enough to call your pdoc NOW, on call, or emergency basis or whatever! Your pdoc doesn't want you to suffer, they went into medicine to help prevent suffering, remember?

You would only be asking them to do what they do: HELP!

It wasn't dumb, going to that doctor. Now your pdoc has a reference to be guided by... and can also refer you to a clinical psychologist or counselor, as they see fit.

Keep asking for help make an ASK of yourself till someone listens!
