It is believed that SSRIs can actually increase anxiety and agitation initially, and some think that this is why some patients feel worse. Others think that SSRIs actually make you feel worse at the beginning but this will change later. I don't think that doctors have reached a conclusion on this.
Because there is a significant record of suicides after just taking an SSRI, I strongly advise you to immediately seek help. Your doctor may add an anxiolytic, switch to different SSRI or may try an other class of anti-depressants.

Why does your headache feel worse after taking sumatriptan?
Some people react badly to sumatriptan, just as some people react badly to Penicillin. Treating migraines is all about trial and error, unfortunately. There may be other triptans you can take which do not cause you to feel worse (Zomig, Maxalt, Axert, Amerge, Relpax, Frova) I would not recommend Treximet, because that is just sumatriptan with naproxen added.
Are Paxil Lithium and Loranzapam unsafe to take together?
I have found taking paxil and lithium together makes me feel much worse. The depression and panic attacks became much worse. I believe the paxil after 11 years of taking it stopped working and turned on me as my Bipolar 2 got worse, then taking the lithium enhanced the paxil thus compounding the issue. I am slowly getting off the paxil which is a nightmare but allowing me to avoid more extremes in the future. Paxil ahs turned out to be nasty drug with more side effects than you can imagine.
