Sounds normal for an anxiety and depression sufferer, SSRI's can be very effective in treating both anxiety and depression, If you do get side effects they should pass in the first couple of weeks. However dont expect to be cured overnight its not like taking a headache tablet it takes on average 6 weeks for the tablets to have full effect.

Its worth considering that tablets alone arent the answer, try to get to see a therapist regarding CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and councilling.

I hope you feel better soon.
