Anyone else have these effects?

I literally just started taking Qelbree 200mg 4 days ago. I have taken stimulants in the past and I’m on Wellbutrin, and I’ve also been med free at times.
I have already messaged my doctor as of this morning and waiting to hear back, but I want to know others experiences.
I never nap, it is near impossible for me, every day I have had to take a nap to function on this medication. One day I slept all afternoon after work in to the next day.
I have been zoning out while driving. Almost got in to 2 car accidents just because my brain went to some kind of automation and wasn’t thinking.
Concentration has never been harder in my life. I can’t concentrate on a damn thing.
EVERYONE is pissing me off, for no good reason. I don’t want to talk to anyone, see anyone. I want everyone to leave me alone. I have a permanent scowl on my face.
I am usually a very social, happy, bubbly person, but I feel like the fucking Grinch. I’m so irritated by the most minor inconvenience and I fucking snap and yell.
The other day, I sat down in my car and randomly the thought “I should kill myself” just popped in to my head. And then I was like what the fuck.
I’ve never once been depressed or suicidal or anything like that. It was gone just as fast as it came, but had me questioning my sanity.
I just want to lie in bed and bed rot. But I can’t. Because I have a fucking job and a family that demands my attention.
Anywho, while I was typing this my doctor messaged me and told me to stop taking it. But I’m still curious.
