So, the best thing for me to do when I'm like that is to find something else to focus on while I give the med a few days to work itself out. Distractions, distractions, distractions. I don't expect to be 100% better after only a few days, but things should (in theory) get better after a few days, even if they're only a tiny bit better. If things are getting worse after like 2-3 days, then I'd say you should definitely let your pdoc know.

Thank you, I appreciate this post
I'm trying my best to distract myself right now, it's hard but I'm going to keep doing that till hopefully things start improving, I talk to my doctor next week so if things don't get better I'll definitely let them know
