i think that it is wonderful that you are reaching out here, but the urgency and pain you are describing seem like they need to be addressed by your therapist and or p-doc. also. drugs alone won't take away the pain, regardless of dosage. the best they can do is provide a more stable base for working through problems---but your base seems pretty shakey right now.
not eating can only make things worse....i've read that if your body is deprived of the necessary proteins for 3 days, many antidepressants will stop working as they help to raise the neurotransmitters which are composed partially of specific proteins. (and tryptophan, an amino acid, is the precurser of serotonin) and the brain's fuel is glucose--without a fresh supply things are going to be a little foggy and tainted. please try eating at least a little bit of healthy foods, and keep us updated on how things are going.
