    Richard, it's too early for the meds to have any effect. They take minimum four weeks to kick in, and often longer. Just be a bit patient.

      If your not working.  You have too much time on your hands.  You may feel better keeping busy.  Find things that need to done around your house/yard etc.  When we have to much time to think, this is when our anxieties like to fill our minds.
