hi ToffeeBomb
I am sorry that you are not feeling good. Medication does take a few weeks to work, and if it doesn't then going back to the Dr. for either an increased dosage or a different medication would be best. as identifying the the correct medication for you is a matter of trial and error.
Have you tried therapy? The medical health service at the University should be able to help you with that.
There would be a branch of MIND in Nottingham where you could meet other service users and get free counseling. I hope and pray you feel much better soon. God bless and best wishes from your friend Francis
