I am feeling unheard by my new doctor and I am feeling like I am spinning out of control. This was my 2nd visit and I believe that she wont ever hear me. I need an antidepressant and I wont see her again for 3 weeks. I have been struggling with grief and so it had been 4 months between visits. My primary discontinued Lamictal and Geodon due to physical health. I had then slept into a deep depression compounded by the worst anxiety ever. So then I was put on Valium just to get me thru to this appointment I had this morning. She yanked me off the Valium and said to see her in three weeks. So not only do I still have a deep depression, I have nothing for anxiety and am back to square one for at least 3 more weeks. And then there is the question of what depression med she will try me on (that I havent already been on) and how long it will take to work. I have tried everything already it seems. Hoping to go back on effexor. Was on Wellbutrin before but she says that will only increase anxiety. Can't take Abilify or Depekote or Buspar or Geodon.
Any Ideas?

I'm sorry
 That's the WORST when you have a pdoc that just won't listen! And you feel as if, even though your shouting, no sound is coming out. Or it just goes in one ear and out the other of the doc.  So, I'm a little confused. Are you on any meds as of right now?

Is it a pdoc or a GP?
Why in the world would they want your to wait three weeks if she is going to put you on one anyway. I would find a new psychiatrist. There are still alot of drugs besides the ones you mentioned.

Oh, wow. I know it's difficult, but you have to be the squeaky wheel. Call, or even go to the office and insist that you need help NOW. Write down or print out your post here and get it to your doctor. Go to the ER if that's your last resort.

My current plan is to speak w/ mental health case manager tomorrow. There is a crisis home I can go to for a week and get help/resc. and ideas. I just need to find a place for my lil Peanut. He is a chi and not well potty trained. He is the main reason for not seeking hospital help. My depression has been getting bad again and then the anxiety follows. I am out of Vals. Tomorrow is action day. Pray for me. There is a County MH pdoc that will see me there also

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
