Med change and metabolism

As some of you may know, I had a major med change last week for my OCD and depression. It was a major overhaul. A new med was added, as well. My problem is this: it has left me extremely nauseated so I can't eat. I have been forcing down super strong ginger tea, plain rice, water and melba toast (don't have soda crackers in the house). I'm starting to feel a bit less nauseated, so I'm trying to eat something (even just a few bites) every 2 hours or so, just so my stomach doesn't get totally empty.
The kicker is this: I feel so weak and jittery. I know my body and metabolism has taken a beating. I have no energy whatsoever. I don't have the energy to do any exercise, and just sitting up is a chore right now.
So what's next? I'm trying to add more food back in. Any suggestions? Any experience with this? How long do you think this will take?
I'm posting this here, because in the back of my mind, my ultimate goal is to get on a healthy diet promoting weight loss. I have 2 weeks left of WW and then I'm quitting. It has not worked. I'm going to try the BMR way.
