What do i even do

So i just started taking 200mg Qelbree (I have never taken any sort of medication before) the first day was great! I felt motivated, I had control of my impulses and felt like I could really focus on tasks and not feel overwhelmed.

Day 2 was a fucking nightmare, I had horrible insomnia the night before and was just in a horrible mood all day, super irritable and felt completely hopeless.

Im currently on my 3rd day and I dont really feel any positive side effects. I have no appetite, my head hurts, i just feel sad and i have no motivation to do the things that i need to.

I know it takes 4-6 weeks for the negative side effects to subside but how do you guys do it? I cant handle feeling like this for a month. How did you power through and was it worth it?

My psych wants me to up my dosage to 400mg next week but I dont know if i can deal with the side effects coming back. Again ive never taken meds for ADHD before and this was the one i was recommended but I just want to feel normal again, or at least semi-normal. How did yall do it? I really want to get my life on track but I can hardly stand to feel this way, especially for another 2 weeks. Please help i have no idea what to do and i have no idea how to power through these feelings.
