Doctors Appointment went well

I go into my doctors office and when I mentioned the suicide attempts. He asked me if we need to be in the hospital. I replied that unless I start treatment for depression immediately then the answer is yes. He told me to exercise more and gave me a doctor's order for more time off from work. But I am worried my boss is not going to like it. Well tough luck, he can either give me an extra day off or cover all of my shifts as without it. I would in up in the hospital for sure. He prescribed me Zoloft at 50 mg and Flexril at 10mg. twice a day. However, the Zoloft on the first dose has diminished the depressive symptoms. Yet, I am having the most common side effect of anxiety. The pharmacist did say that I could cut in half and take half and then once the medication builds up in my body. Then I could raise it up to the one fifty milligram tablet a day. That is exactly what I intend to do. Just got home from school. I am needing to get to bed earlier as I have a history test to study for.
