Cipralex 10mg to 80mg in two weeks, is my doctor insane?!?!

I am a 17 year old girl and my doctor has screwed me over with pills. I have had depression problems for a extreme amount of time and at the beginning of June started taking cipralex at 10mg, this is when my insomnia started, at the end of June I was prescribed mylan alprazolam 0.5mg, it only worked for a week before they were useless.. my insomnia continued until I started school in September. on September 5th my doctor then prescribed me mylan risperidone at 1mg to sleep, my side effects were extreme even at the two week point I had to discontinue using because I felt like I was going to die, he then prescribed me mylan alprazolam at 0.5mg again which was pointless once again, I then fell out of school once again. he then started me back on cipralex nov 15th at 10mg then on nov 30th uped my dosage to 80mg after continuing my pills I started to get almost every severe side effect including the not so severe ones. I discontinued using them when I had all the symptoms of fibromyalgia which inducing restless leg syndrome.. on jan 16th my doctor then prescribed me without any diagnosis of any kind , cymbalta at 30mg and pulmicort turbuhaler at 200ug two inhalations three times daily (I do not have asthma) and another pill for my restless leg syndrome which I have yet to get. after I specifically asked for alternatives to antidepressents. I have also asked for 3 referrals and 1 for an urgent consultant, none of which he has done. I'm contantly in pain and can't cope with anything, I personally think my doctors an idiot. is it possible my doctor is the reasoning for my sickness, and if I do have fibro .. could it be his fault ? maybe malpractice? someone please help me out with an answer, I'm going crazy here.

You should see another doctor and get a second opinion. Take a list of the prescriptions you have been prescribed by your current doctor.
