Hi there Charlie

 Welcome to Beyond Blue.

My thoughts on this is to either get back to your doctor and let them know of what you experienced when taking the prescribed meds (maybe they might be able to provide you with alternative ones), but also on that, did the Doc suggest that there may be side effects with them and if so, for possibly how long they'd last?  It may have been an option that they'd lower their intensity after a while of taking them?

The other suggestion I have is to perhaps get to a different doc for a 2nd opinion on all of the symptoms that you suggested.

Hope this helped a bit.

Neil
