If this is what it takes to get you to swallow it then go for it. Nothing bad will happen. Side-effects can sometimes be unpleasant, but they are rarely harmful.
Yes, these are possible initial side-effects, but they are usually not significant. Unremitting anxiety is far more dangerous to health than any medication used to control it.
Not reading about the side-effects would be a good start. The inserts list every side-effect that has ever been reported. It doesn't mean you will experience them, or that you will be harmed by them if you do.
I wholeheartedly agree with everything Ian said. In knowing you from AZ, you switched meds so many times, many before giving them a chance to work. I think your biggest enemy is yourself here, not the meds.
