Di 38-I think that you should call your Dr. You need his help now- waiting 6 days is not a good thing for you in your condition. I know that for me, lack of sleep makes it worse.
Don't be ashamed to ask for help; what you have is a serious illness. Be kind and gentle to yourself (and your Dr. should be too).
I know that everyone is different, but I used ambien for the first month so that I could get some sleep (I was hallucinating from lack of sleep- depression does that to me). I take 300mg, it took until 225mg to feel O.K. (this was such a new feeling for me, I have been learning how to live "not depressed")
Call your Dr. - tell him that you need help now, suicidal thoughts ARE AN EMERGENCY.
I hope that you get results from your medication soon.
