It depends on the med, depends on the dose, depends on the person. Too many unknowns. Talk to your doc.
I was on a med that made me really tired and after 2 weeks he changed my med.

Many psych meds can make you tired.
What are you on? I'd say to give the meds about 4 weeks (Maybe more) to settle. But if it is really interfering in your life, don't hesitate to call you pdoc and ask for help

Sorry Shadow, don't know much about those meds, except for Remeron. I took it mainly to sleep, and I think to help with the anxiety.
Maybe post this under the DRUGS forum as well.
