I've been going through a worsening of depression and anxiety probably the past 3 months or so. I've been trying really hard to find the right meds and trying different ones, and right now my psych is out of town. Right before leaving a couple weeks ago he started me on a new med, but gave me a measly below therapeutic dose, and he'll be gone for over 2 weeks more.

I'm not quite in "crisis" technically, as in I'm not strongly suicidal and would not need or consider hospitalization right now. But I've been doing badly for a while, I fear getting worse, and I am just miserable and need to get better so badly. My functioning has gotten worse, I have no motivation, I don't want to be negative but fear I'm going to continue worsening, and I really need to start working again and live life! My general doc would be very unlikely to help. I can't imagine sitting around waiting 2 more weeks to even possibly begin getting more help from meds. Would there be services, at a hospital or anywhere, where I could get in quickly and be seen for something like this? I mean I know there are places that offer "emergency psych services," but is that limited to hospitalization and severe crises, or is there any chance a place like this would be willing to help me with meds, even with me already having a psych?

My community mental health center is useless, though I've given in and am at least trying to get a therapist there since I have run out of choices with my insurance, but they can't help with meds or anything. I'm just trying to get the treatment I need and feel like I don't have options and I'm getting so frustrated and kinda losing hope, I just wanna scream. Thanks for any help.
