Be patient: Some , if not all symptoms will come and go as your body and brain get used to it and as your doctor adjusts it into a proper therapeutic level for you.

Report: Report your symptoms to your treating Physician. He/she may want to adjust dose, or may want to give it more time for your body to adjust. But let your Physician, the practitioner that knows you best, make the appropriate decisions with you.
