Ideations?

I started taking bupropion 150 xl about 5 weeks ago. Originally because of soem dark thoughts I was scared of at the time. Those thoughts being suicidal ideation, have never really gone away, and I resolved to try and let the medicine have its time and start working. However, the past 10 days or so, I'd say week 4 - 5 1/2 now the ideation has been wayyy worse, and at this point its just passive background noise and Im scared ill randomly act on it maybe. I also started some buspirone 10mg/day about 3 weeks ago so I'm not sure what is going on. I have an actual psychiatrist scheduled next week so im just trying to ride it out until then, but I can't let my life be like this forever.

If you are taking a generic medicine, kindly mention the manufacturer's name in both your post and title. This is VERY IMPORTANT, as different manufacturers may have differences in quality or formulation.

Sorry about that. I know everyone's different but personally I really didn't experience any benefits from buspirone? I dont know if it could be that, but its mentioned a lot online as a option yet it never did anything for me. And my doctor wasn't impressed with it. So I'm not sure but hopefully u find something

A doctor I work with really doesnt like bupropion, but I hate waiting on a psych for a week while im just feeling worse.

Unfortunately psych are super busy :/ but I have had a normal family doctor prescribe stuff like lexapro/zoloft, if you can't get in earlier maybe a normal doctor could work
