Dear Anoos
Hello and welcome to Beyond Blue. Glad you have written in here with your difficulty.
As SM has said, it is dangerous to try medications which are not prescribed by a physician. Apart from the fact that obtaining prescription medication without a prescription is illegal, you need to be monitored to check that the meds are effective and do not cause harmful side effects.
Can I ask why you do not want to visit your GP? If you do not feel comfortable with this GP, go to another. Click on Find a Professional at the bottom of the page. This will take you to a list of GPs who are experienced in dealing with mental health issues. The list is searchable by postcode.
Pharmacy medications may be useful for some types of illness. However, even these are better suggested by your GP. You are self-diagnosing and this is always a worry. Saying you feel depressed does not mean you have a clinical depression. There are all sorts of reasons for being angry and miserable. So please make an appointment with your GP and get checked out properly. Don't wish depression yourself as it is not very nice.
You may not need medication but would find very helpful to talk to a psychologist or counsellor about your anger issues. Maybe not. This is point I am making. Get a proper diagnosis first and don't rely on self-diagnosis or Dr Google. You can do yourself a great deal of harm that way. I hope you will get back to us as we would like to know how you are travelling.
Mary
