Sorry to say it but I highly doubt anything will calm down for you while you're using an antidepressant on its own.

Things can get very unpleasant while you stay on it waiting for a pdoc...

If I were you I'd try and get off it or at least reduce it, but I'm no doctor and know first hand what quitting meds can do, so not advocating it, just sharing what my choice would be.

I find it very negligent that a pdoc would DX BP (even unofficially) and RX an AD instead of a mood stabilizer. That's like a BP no no 101.
