thats bad Pagey, cant you get an appointment any sooner ?
This. I don't know of anything that would work as any kinda stand-in for an SSRI - they're not really that kinda drug. They do have godawful withdrawals sometimes though so I can quite understand feeling crappy. If you could get your appoinment re-arranged to sometime sooner so you have enough to cover you that would obviously be ideal - could you maybe try to get an emergency appointment during the week? When you're on SSRIs they do work best taken daily and I'm sure your doctor would be happy to write out a refill script for you if s/he knew the situation. You may not even need to get a full appoinment - do you always see your doc for a refill or can you just tick the repeat box on the back of the prescription and leave it at reception or something? If I were you I'd phone them tomorrow or drop in to recepetion and let them know the situation - I'm sure they'd be able to get you a repeat script sorted sooner than ten days if you're nearly out.
Other than that, it's basically the same drill as any other w/d - a warm bath might help with any physical discomfort and basic OTC headache pills (if your stomach is up to them now) should help at least somewhat with the headaches - but really you will need a repeat script to actually stop the symptoms. Give them a call in the morning on the phone or in person - they should at least be able to advise you on what to do as I'm sure they won't want to leave you without enough pills to see you through.
Hope you're feeling better soon - I know how horrid SSRI w/d can be
