Anxious: People with anxiety are more aware of their bodies and more prone to side effects. Don't take other than prescribed unless directed by your Dr. and you should get in touch with him/her ASAP. A decreased dose or switch to another med may be recommended. Consider the reason for the medication as well. Many with anxiety require gentle dosing for 6 weeks before benefit.
