Brad:
I think I know what you are talking about. Definitely cognitive therapy is needed to change your perspective and adjust your reactions to things in the outside world- or at least understand them.Medication may help ease the symptoms you are experiencing. I say this only from my own experience with years of therapy and diff. medications.
As far as being off medication before you start a new one, I also have those fears. Some medications stay in your system after you have stopped taking them, so you could be "protected". I would do whatever I could, if I were you, to try and avoid the situations that cause your depression during that time. Maybe some xanax will help take your edge off and calm the fears you have.
Either way, good luck. Just try and wait it out with the hopes that the next medication will work better for you and the 10 days is the means to an end.
Been there,
Dysfunk
