I'd lean away from taking more than that, because it might make it harder going back -- don't want to let new job anxieties take root if that makes any sense. Just my opinion of course, based on my own adventures in anxiety. (Years ago, if I had a bunch of days off, I'd be afraid I'd forgotten how to pour coffee, lol.) Maybe that's not the case for you. Otherwise, something to consider.

Do you have any PRN meds that might help? Would half-days be an option for easing back into it?
Thanks Innerzone. (hope I'm doing this right. I'm still learning how to navigate this site). I literally just started but got benefits immediately so at least I can get my Rx filled. I was taking Mirtazapine once in a while when I couldn't sleep. I just did more research on it and plan to take a half a dose, 7.5mg now and maybe twice a day for the next couple of days. I see a pcychdoc on July 1st.
