Out of meds: I wish I could do that for you, but there are strict rules for telemedicine right now due to liability. Some state boards require a face-to-face visit for antidepressants. Can you go to an urgent care clinic? If not, your pharmacy can give you about 2-3 pills while you find another doctor. Call them and see. Take care.

Unfortunately: HealthTap guidelines restrict physicians against prescribing medications for psychiatric illnesses. Consider going to an urgent care facility as they may be able to help get you a bridging prescription but also help arrange long term follow up. Best of luck.
