Contradictory: If you felt "completely healthy, " what led you to seek out someone who started prescribing medications for you--and why did you take them? The symptoms you describe could be side effects of mediciations or indications of a psychiatric disorder or both. Find someone you can trust and with whom you can develop a solid relationship so you can ask these questions and get specific answers.

Takes time: It takes sometime before meds start to work & in the meantime your sx may worsen & you may attribute this to the meds.

Side effects: It is not at all unusual for folks to have trouble getting adjusted to new medication, and some meds are better tolerated than others. Suggest you try to persist for at least 14 days, but if still difficult, might be best to try a different med. Let your doc know what is occurring and work closely.
