> Hi,

> Currently on 40mg of Prozac, i was fine and now I have crashed, can't stop crying, want to run away from myself. What do I do, only raised dose a couple of months ago. Can't bear the thought of waiting in doctors waiting room. I feel like I'm slipping away again and I'm scared that this iis it for me. What do i do ? Can this crash be caused by circumstances or is it just the medication not working. Please help me, I'm really afraid.

> Thanks JaneJane, I am sooo sorry. I empathize with your deeply embeded pain, and I don't understand why doctors don't treat this like they do say a car accident wound or any other horrid pain.
Did your doctor give you any benzos? A good dose of those would likely *really* help right now. Atleast, until you can see your doctor again. Don't be afraid to go the ER either, as I have esp when I have a bad panic attack, and they give me a few days supply of a benzo until I see my doc.
If your treatment hasn't been working, and you may want to sit down and write out the good vs. the bad, then maybe it's time to insist to your doc that you need a *massive* change in your treatment. You don't deserve to just feel 'sorta' good, and I think many of us accept that as a reality too often. It's like say treating somebody for cancer, and only half-treating it, and telling them too bad, that's all that will be done.
If you can get yourself somewhere safe and comfortable , and possible to an ER, I think those are two vital goals right now.
Please keep posting...
Best wishes
Jay
