See a specialist: Antidepressant dose is typically 75mg+ (up to ~150mg). Many patients experience intolerable side effects, which is why this type of med is not often used for depr anymore. You should also know that only a small % of patients respond to antidepressant meds (beyond a placebo effect). Psychotherapy should be part of the plan. You have a serious problem-- definitely see a mental health professional.
