i work in a psych hospital here in RI, seen it all, your meds can have a side effect, jot it down, and ask your doctor, your body should get used to it, I always tell the kids I work with know what your on, and pay attention to your body, side effects can be from dry mouth to low sex drive, depends on how YOUR body reacts to the medicine...
