Yes, I have an appt. on 5/8 with my GP, and AD's are definately on my list.
Tomorrow, first thing, you should call your GP's office, ask to speak to the triage nurse, and tell them you really need to see the Dr. sooner -- like "today." Mention that you think you may need to be prescribed an AD, your counselor told you as much and others have too...and, no, you're not thinking of hurting yourself (assuming you aren't), but really see no point in waiting a week for some relief.
If it's a good office, they'll take care of you and fit you in. If they balk, then you should find an office that will help. If the GP is not empathetic when you see him/her, get the prescription and start looking for another Dr.
If in fact you are clinically depressed, then there is a good chance medications of some sort will help you immensely. Treat it like a disease, and get some help. You'll have yourself to thank for it someday.
