Mental health!!! Health anxiety anti depressant

[megggggg]

I started anti depressants a week
ago (sertaline) I thought I was feeling better after the first couple of days but now I seem to have come crashing down my anxiety is through the roof! I have no energy I can't eat.
I can barely look after the kids and I have a 10 hour shift on Saturday? Is there anyway I can get out of work till my tablets kick in?
do they allow it

Well in most jobs you just phone in sick if it is just for one day. You basically self certify. If you are not happy with sharing that it is mental health related, say you have a stomach bug.

Sertraline is a great drug. It took a few weeks to work for me.
