I have been prescribed the same medication but have not yet started taking it, so I'm sort of in the same boat. I'm just going to tell you some stuff my psych mentioned in case that's of any help to you c:
My psych said that it would take up to 6 weeks to start really making an effect. I'm not certain that it will take the same amount of time for you, but I guess what I'm saying is don't stop taking it if it's not making a difference in the first month or so.
Also, the most common side effects are typical physical things like nausea. It can increase suicidal thoughts, but it's rare. I'd recommend keeping track of those sorts of thoughts just to be on the safe side though.
I hope everything works out for you, take care c:
