I am so sorry you are suffering. Go to an emergency room with a psychiatric intervention program. Are you insured? Go anyways, and see if you county will cover your expenses perhaps.
A good doctor will give you the right drug if the communication is good, so write your symptoms down in a paragraph or bullet-style if you are rather afraid or have trouble speaking in front of a doctor. Also, if you have a therapist, have that person set things up for you because that is his or her job. That person has to vouch for you if you are particularly ill {suicidal, homicidal, psychotic, etc}.Say specifically that you are interested in trying out an antipsychotic if you feel that is something your doctor and you should explore.
During my first suicidal psychotic depression I was given Risperdal, and my symptoms abated.
Good luck!!
