Hi, gary!
Hostility, movement disorders, and tremors are common side effects and anger has also been reported in some users. Side effects generally subside within just days to a week or so... but should be reported to your doctor especially if they persist.
Many people will see improvements within the first two weeks but it may take 4-8 weeks to feel the full benefits of the medication.
Usually it's just a matter of essence of time for your metabolism to adjust to the drug but do let your doctor know about the side effects.
Best regards,
Wildcat
BTW, your question posted just fine.

Gary, my experience is that WildcatVet is very smart and very well received in this community.
I do trust WildcatVet but still do your own due diligence if you still feel uncomfortable or unsure. A lot of these answers are found right here in this site.
Very best regards,

@kevin. Thank you so much!
@gary. As kevin suggested it would be good for you to thoroughly acquaint yourself with your medication. If you haven't found it already here's a link to a lot of information here on Drugs.com.
It goes into a lot of detail about it's uses, side effects, patient tips, user reviews and so on.

One word though, don't let the list of side effects scare you. You won't get them all and since they usually occur soon after you start the medication what you're experiencing now may be the extent of it.
