It takes time for each medication to start working right & for some side effects to calm down. Not all side effects will disappear but some will & some will lessen with time. 4-6 weeks is a normal time to see if the med is working for you.
Not sure why you were labeled "non-compliant" Sometimes a pdoc is overly authorotative (sp) & that makes us balk. Can you change doctors?

So I would try it on my own again and again. Idk but something inside said "ok, your going to take these meds, and your going to give it a real shot" So I tried, and the med doesn't work so well, yet the doc doesn't listen because well i'm "non-compliant". So to them it's I just don't want to take it. Med was giving me real issues that was interfering with my interactions with my kids. So yet again I have stopped the med. I see a new doc next month. What is the best way to convince him i'm not being non-compliant I want this label gone, but you have to listen to me, you have to understand it's not all about me being stubborn?
