When is your appointment you say a couple of days. I think you should wait til then and not change meds. Phillipa

I have to agree with Phillipa. I know it will feel like ages until you see your doctor, but it's the best route. Hang in there.

see previous post
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20101218/msgs/974187.htmlpretty much don't have a doctor-could go to an internist and have him put me bak on an ssri but then would have to wait 2 more weeks to go on an maoi
Was going to see a psychopharm guy tomorrow but insurance will only cover a doctor every two weeks-trying to get them to pay for TMS so don't want to piss them off. The doctor who came highly recommended from my neurologist probably wont be able to see me for at least a week so don't know what to do. this sh*t is just not tiding me over.

Worth the wait for sure. I understand that you are suffering and that waiting is hard, but you don't have much choice. It's much, much, much better than seeing an internist.
In the meantime, make a list of all the meds you have been on and your reaction to them. This will save a lot of time in the appt.
Don't give up, ok?
