Can you get yourself to a clinic, a hospital, even your family doc? How the heck do they expect a depressed person to have the energy to find a pdoc??! That is crazy!
It is going to take all the energy you can muster up, but don't be afraid, and go and *demand* service now! It is your *right*, and the health care system *owes* you that because they put you on Prozac, and treated you, and have a responsibility for that treatment.
Do you have somebody...a friend, family member, anyone...to help you through this? You deserve it..we all deserve it...the BEST of care, right NOW. If you had a heart attack, and where laying on the floor in pain gasping for air, 9-1-1 is called and you get in the hospital, and *get GOOD treatment*. Dammit, the same MUST apply for us with mental illness. Call 9-1-1...and DON'T be afraid to. This IS life threatening.
Let us know how you make out...
