Are you seeing a psychiatric specialist?
It takes 3-8 weeks to respond to these drugs. It is invalid to evaluate their effectiveness after 2 weeks.
Your "zombie" state is a common side effect early in treatment and tends to disappear. I think you increased the dosage to quickly for your system, especially if this the first time you are taking an antidepressant.
Anyone serving as your physician should know these things. Go see a specialist. You have so far wasted 4 weeks of your life.
