It’s very tough when you start a new medication because you’re mind is constantly wondering when is it going to work and why do I feel worse or the same? Some meds do make you feel worse and since it’s been 4 weeks, you should definitely talk to your doctor. I’m not a doctor but I’ve been suffering with this for 25 years. I finally feel a little more balanced with an antidepressant and a medication specifically for anxiety. Even though antidepressants are supposed to help anxiety, I honestly never had that happen. And like MAS Nurse said, can you tell us a little more? X
