Hey Tess-

Just to put it out there, it usually takes about 6 weeks to feel the effects of anti-depressants. (Except for the side effects of like headaches and all that stuff) Anti-depressants are known to cause people to feel worse, and even more suicidal.

Don't just stop taking the medication though. Put a call in to whoever prescribed them to you and explain what's going on. There are other types of medications you can try, different dosages, and even other methods of dealing with what's going on.

When you do talk to the doctor ask for some advice for how to deal with what's going on now after taking the medication until things get fixed.

Good luck!
Maria.
