I feel so depleted

Discussion / Experience Using

I took this medication for the first time yesterday and within an hour things got bad. I've never had side effects hit me this hard this quickly before. I went from stable, active, brain fog, to irritated, depressed crying spells. My vertigo got to the point that I couldn't walk by myself (I already suffer from vestibular migraines, but hadn't been that bad in awhile) and I felt so cold, like my veins had icy slush in them. I took a hot shower but just couldn't seem to get warm... It was terrible. I woke up super depressed again.

I had stayed off of prescribed medication for years due to trauma from adverse side effects. I told my doctor I was sensitive to medication. I had given this a shot because I really need the ability to concentrate for school, but now I just feel like giving up on this.

Is it common on this medication to have this many side effects? I took 25mg yesterday.

I truly never want to take this again
