Talk with prescriber: Some people have adverse reactions to medications (e.g. insomnia from a 'sleeping' pill). As a next step, review the problem with the doctor who prescribed the medication promptly and see if (a) there's another choice that could help address the original problem without the side effect, or (b) the side effect might not persist if the med is taken another time.
