Hey--The same thing happened to me 3 months ago. Had a major freak out, and called my doc, who told me call my HMO. It was cathartic, me weeping and sniffling that I'm always anxious, always tense. Nothing came of the reference. I never got to see a specialist. They clowned around with giving me a shrink, and I got fed up. Instead I joined the boards here. (And I quit caffiene, it really helped with the anxiety, if you can believe that.)
And you know? It's like a burdon has been lifted off my chest! The compassion here is really refreshing. I don't have to hide my illness anymore. They've all been there! Plus, I've had the opportunity to share my point of view, and even offer advice!
My best friend noticed I was doing better and recently mentioned it to me. It's the first time someoone has told me it looks like I'm doing *better*. I know it's because I've found my voice here. 
Please take care of yourself. Post here a while and let me know what you think. There are people here who've gotten a lot of help from anti-depressants. Maybe they can help you.
Good to have you here!! All my best,
~nelly~
