Need Medicine For Depression

I am currently being treated by a psychiatrist for depression and am taking Zoloft. I ran out of medication over a week ago and called my doctor to set an appt./get refill. However, my doctor is out of town so I spoke with her staff and was told that they would relay my message to her and she would call my prescription in. I have checked with my pharmacy but she has not called it in. I have left numerous messages on her office s answer machine but have not rec d a reply. I tried calling physician s exchange but was told that she is not listed with them. I am suffering extreme depression (i.e., sadness, weepy, jittery) and don t know what to do to get a small refill for Zoloft as I have an appointment to see her on 6/6/14. Please help.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
hi,
you were taking Zoloft, which contains Sertraline. it is an antidepressant of class SSRI. you should not be discontinuing it for long. To start taking your medication again you can consult other psychiatrist and get a prescription and meanwhile your psychiatrist will be back. as you have reported worsening of depression, you need to consult a psychiatrist or else you can get back to me here with the details
Regards,
Dr Arun
