Help with Fluoxetine side effects PLEASE!!!!!!

I started taking 10mg of fluoxetine 11 days ago for severe anxiety and slight depression. The first few days were fine, now I feel very down and my anxiety is extreme!!!!!!!! my heart is racing all the time and my mind won't stop worrying. Is this normal side effects? If so how long do I have to wait them out, I don't think I can last much longer, I feel worse than when I started but my doc says it should subside. Anyone have any experience with this that can help ease my mind? I have even started taking them every other day and am taking lorazapam to help the anxiety.

Any advice please.................
