Wait a minute, you are a rape victime and your GP does not think you need to go see a psychiatrist?! I'm not a professional, like Connor , but that seems strange to me. Maybe you should push a little harder on your GP, or maybe you aren't talking enough to her about what you are going through, how you are feeling, nightmares, anxiety, depression, etc. etc.?

Maybe you need a new GP? She might be "nice" but if she isn't getting you what you need, or if you feel you aren't being helped enough than "nice" needs to be traded in for competent. I don't know. You know how well you were/weren't doing before you abruptly stopped all your meds. And I don't know if you've already been through therapy and seen a shrink. But if not and you feel it would help, I'd be insisting that the GP refer me to a psychiatrist. Just my unprofessional opinion of course. I think you know what you need, and if you follow your gut instinct you will know what to do.
