All of the medications have different side effects. I would journal what you are feeling so that you can keep track of it day-to-day. Since it does take 4-6 weeks for these medications to really start working, you may be having a combination of side effects and the anxiety you already had. Try to eat even though you don't feel like it. Even if it is a lot of small meals during the day. Of course if your nausea turns into vomiting, then you need to call your doctor ASAP. You should see a bit of relief in the side effects as the days go on...if you don't then again, call your doctor. We have all been in your shoes. We have all wanted to throw in the towel before the benefits are really achieved but when you perservere through it, you will feel so much better.
Try an over the counter heartburn med like prilosec for now. Make sure you take the mediation with food if you can. This should help with the stomach problems.
Post again if you need anything else.
