Allow the revised medication further time to work, a further three weeks.

I was on flurozetine before too but it didn’t help me much. The most dosage I was on was 60 mg. It takes time for antidepressant to kick in. If you still feel anxious, I think you should go to your psychaitrist to see if they could give you some tranquillisers and take only only when you needed. You need to settle your fluctuating mood before everything . Hope it helps.
Donna it is important you give your medication time to work. If you change medications, then follow suit with others given you will find they can run out of options in the UK.
Generally you may find every time you change may mean longer periods of time as the wait for the supposed right one .
With my medication it took time to get used to it, I persisted and now have been on my drug for over ten years. I have very few side effects, my side effects are generally caused by pain medications when I feel bad.
If you keep changing you may miss out on the drug that works for you. If you ask to take several that may be problematic as well. Side effects can become more problematic and working out what is wrong can also affect your condition.
Most medications given are very much the same, so trust your GP and follow His advice
