Your post is fine here. You might also want to post about the medications in the Drug Questions forum because some of the people who read there and not as much here might have more answers about side effects and how long to wait it out, etc. I understand that it is usual for the side effects to kick in sooner, while it can take a few weeks for your symptoms to start improving. It sounds like you are having some rather intense side effects to me, and you might want to talk to your doctor about it if you can. Also, this doesn't make your experience of the effects any less real, but anticipating the side effects quite possibly could make them worse. From what I have heard, they don't usually stay that intense.

I am glad that you will go to a therapist too. Medication may help with current symptoms, but therapy is how you learn to actually fix the real problems that cause the symptoms.

Best Wishes,
