I would STRONGLY encourage you to discuss your thoughts with your direct supervisor (or higher, if you've got the relationship). I love it when my guys come and talk to me. It shows that they trust me and that they know we're working together. Good management knows how hard it is to recruit, train and ultimately trust new staff.
With that being said, you need to be sure that you're not just in a funk before you move ahead with any drastic changes. Ride it out for 4-6 weeks and see if there are signs of improvement.
Now for the mini-sermon:
Within a professional context, blind dedication to any particular person, job or industry is a waste of your life. If you aren't getting exactly what you want/need out of a situation, there's absolutely no reason to stay. Don't ever discount the option to shift within the same organization, but don't ever hesitate to move on completely. This applies equally to specific jobs, industries and careers.
And the final bit of advice.....have another job before you quit. So many people make the mistake of jumping overboard without a life-jacket.
