@Debby, take a deep breath...you haven't necessarily done anything wrong. Can you call your pharmacy and let them know your concerns? Maybe they can be of help and reassure you a bit.
If the liquid doesn't work out for some reason, you can always count beads. Perhaps you need to give the liquid a bit more time. Starting something new is always a bit nerve-wracking and takes some getting used to.
I'm concerned that you mentioned having suicidal thoughts. Are you in a safe place and is someone there with you?
