Struggling with Medication Side Effects

I told my psychiatrist, who prescribed it to me that it caused headaches & didn't give me the motivation she said it would...actually caused me to want to sleep more....so she upped my dose. it isn't working & I feel worse on it than I ever did before taking it. similar for anyone else?

Literally just started it about 2 weeks ago and I feel a lot worse. Definitely sleeping a lot more and NO energy!

I tolerate it well, though the dosage kept having to get upped. The current meds I'm on seems to at least plateaued to the point where it isn't getting better, but at least it's not getting worse.

Yes, I've actually been having a lot of anxiety attacks since starting it.
