Sometimes those types of drugs (SSRI's) take awhile to kick in to get the benefit part of it. But if you absolutely can't handle it..... Call your doctor's office and leave an "urgent" message. I know it's the weekend right now, but until they call you back, since you are only on Day 4, if you absolutely, positively can't handle taking it, then can you cut the dose by a half? I don't know if those are tablets or capsules. If possible to cut in half, take half in morning and half at night until you can speak to your doctor. Let me know. Good luck! And, good for you for trying a new med. Sometimes it takes trying a few, or adjusting the dose, to get the right med that works for you. Everyone is different.

She tried to talk me into going to more yard sales by saying that if I don't go, there...
