medi(compli)cations

I don't know if my new drug is working right. Or rather, so far the side effects have been pretty brutal. My doctor told me it sometimes increases anxiety in people. I'm already prone to anxiety, and now I feel super jittery and like my lungs are going to burst out of my chest. My lungs also feel really warm? I can't explain it, but it isn't pleasant. It's made me nauseous too, which has affected how I'm eating (decreased it but I'm still hungry). I can't fall asleep either because of the heart-racing effect I'm having. And this is all on the lower dose. I'm supposed to move up to a higher dose on wednesday, but if this continues I don't think I can do it. My body is generally very slow to accept new drugs into it, so I'm hoping this is just part of getting it in my blood stream.

If you look at the info about it - it's used for smoking cessation, so maybe its injecting some sort of nicotine-like substance into me and that's why I feel all goofy?

I'm gonna put on the golden girls and see if they help me calm down a bit. I have to work at 11 tomorrow darnit.

Update! I found this other site that says the side effects of the exact style I'm taking (the XL) and they included Abdominal pain, agitation, anxiety, constipation, diarrhea, dizziness, dry mouth, heart palpitations, increased urination, insomnia, muscle soreness, nausea, rash, ringing in the ears, sore throat, sweating. I have: agitation, anxiety, dizziness, insomnia, muscle soreness (but that could be from sleeping? or not having a massage in over a month?), nausea, and i also noticed that my tinnitus is worse but I thought that was because of my new earphones. I have got to stop playing internet doctor because I'm only upsetting myself.
