One other thing you can do too is that if you are never sure of what effects a medicine can do for you, you can research information about the medicine online or ask the pharmacist at the pharmacy counter if there is anything that is important about the medicine that you need to know about. I take a prescription medicine called Amitriptylan which is a medicine to help with depression, but in my case, it was to help with constant headaches I was getting last year and it helps me to go to sleep too when I have trouble sleeping and I find that if I don't drink enough water, my throat becomes really dried out. For any medicine that you take, you should always drink lots and lots of water too.

You probably won't feel very much at first. I know that when I start a new medication there are sometimes some side effects like headache, nausea, or other things like that.
The main thing is to give it time. Don't expect a big change right away. Over time you'll notice that things get a little easier.
If you experience really bad side effects (I had one medication that made me throw up every day) or if you wait a month and aren't feeling any better, talk to your doctor about switching. If things get worse, tell your doctor right away. I know it seems counterintuitive, but no matter what don't stop taking the meds on your own. If you stop cold turkey you can experience some terrible withdrawal symptoms.
