Functional medicine MD so they could help you address root causes instead of just using bandaid medication (not saying there isn’t a time and place for meds, but when the cause seems so obvious — hormones, it seems silly not to at least try and balance them). Until you get there, cleaning up your diet, improving gut health, taking magnesium, minerals and b vitamins, supporting your liver especially with DIM to metabolize excess estrogen, seed cycling, gaba and 5htp, ashwahganda, l theanine can all be very helpful.

Update: BH the doctor’s office squeezed me in for an appointment, and the doctor prescribed klonopin to take at night on a “as needed” basis”.
Now I’m venting and seeking support for the shame I had to go through at the pharmacy.
I asked the doctor to send the Rx to a local heimish pharmacy I’ve never used before, because I was ashamed to pick up from the small pharmacist I use regularly.
The tech at the new pharmacy asked me what pharmacist I usually use, and I politely asked why he’s asking.
He responded in a rude tone, saying we don’t have a profile for you, and it’s a controlled narcotic, so I can’t give it to you.
I left the pharmacy, and called the doctor’s office asking if they could please send the RX to a different pharmacy as this one refused.
They said the doctor would call and speak to them.
I called the pharmacist back to confirm that they spoke to the doctor.
I complained that the tech was nasty to me and he started yelling at me that I should use another pharmacy, and that he was only filling it because the doctor was nice and he vouched for me, and that I was a nasty person.
That the only reason I was coming to them, a pharmacy I never used before was because I probably tried to get the drug from another pharmacist who refused to dispense it.
Basically implying that I’m a drug addict.
I’m crying so hard 😭

That's awful
I think they get annoyed when they see you don't use them all the time (they can see past charges on profile).

I'm so sorry for what you went through, OP.
Help yourself right now by getting these 3 over the counter products that kept me sane until my SSRI prescription kicked in.
1. Rescue Remedy. You put 4 drops on your tongue and it stops a panic attack.
2. L-theanine pills (200 mg)
3. some kind of relaxation tea like Cup of Calm
You will feel immediate relief.
Thank you to FranticFrummie who saved me with these recommendations.
