All I can say is that every medication acts differently with different people. A few people might have had some annoying side effects, while others had none. Make sure you express your caution to your doc, let he/she know that you want to take it slow and start with the simple stuff.
I think you'll feel better once you are stabilized on something and see that medication isn't all that bad :)
Side effects are the small stuff, and you just can't sweat it... unless the side effects make everyday living hard. The small stuff is easy after a few weeks... You're gonna be ok- you have babble to support you through it :)
