As you have told you are taking a SSRI , and most prbbly it was prescribed by a Psychiatrist , if not then please consult one . Most prrbly you are suffering from Depression that's why you are taking it . if a psychiatrist has prescribed this drug then be patient , it will take time to have effect . Dont discontinue it on your own . Be in constant touch with the Doc you are seeing . Involve yourself in some exercises , outings etc.
