Hello

These medications can help with your anxiety but can give you side effects and when we get them we instantly want to come of them , but it can take several weeks before they start to work as well as any side effects we may get when we start them to settle down , this is why your Doctor want's you to try and stick with them

I would really try and give it another 3 weeks , I know not great when you feel like you do but if things have not settled by then I would contact the Doctor let them know you have by then given them a fair chance but are feeling no better and if they ask you to stick with them after then just politely say you can't and would like them to look at trying something else , but give them a good go first

Take Care x
