My advice would be to see a psychiatrist. Since they're MD's, they can prescribe drugs themselves.
Just remember that you can always ask for a second opinion and never stay with a mental health professional you are uncomfortable with. They may force you out of your comfort zone to try to help you, but they should not be short with you or anything like that. Believe it or not, I've known people who have stayed with therapists who treated them like crap because of the mistaken belief that the therapist knew best.
Oh, and if you see a therapist as well(my psychiatrist had me see one), be sure you can't take control of the sessions easily. My last therapist, while a sweet lady who actually did a lot for me, let me take control of our sessions all the time, something my psychiatrist and psychologist never let me do.

Sorry, I'll get off my soap box. :)
