It takes weeks for SSRIs to really work, first of all, and the side effects that you experience at the beginning usually substantially go away in a few weeks' time. I'm surprised the doc didn't explain this. I'd encourage you to be patient. You need to give it 8–10 weeks I'd think before assessing whether it's really helping you. Which sucks, but it's just how these meds work.
