Was the primary just unwilling to prescribe over the phone? Or refused in person? If in person, I'd report the doctor. <BR/><BR/>I would NOT say you're suicidal to get attention - they may end up baker acting you and you don't want that nor do you want that on your record. <BR/><BR/>Do you have mental health coverage? If so, the plan should get you in to see someone immediately based on how urgent this is.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry Julia. I live with depression and after trying so very medications, I'm finaly on the right dose and feeling "normal" again. You know you want to feel well again, and YOU WILL feel well again.

I would definitely call your former psychiatrist, explain what happened, ask for a refill, and ask for a referral or ask them to actually get you into someone local who can help you asap. Doctors can sometimes coerce favors out of other doctors. In the meantime, please focus on what you *know* to be true rather than what you feel is true at this exact moment. This tunnel is temporary, even if you can't see the light at the end of it.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707239750853070391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-22318555454158386172008-10-14T13:43:00.000-04:002008-10-14T13:43:00.000-04:00Yes.
