Hi J.
> I decided to start the medication yesterday. After a couple of hours I started feeling really weird, like my body was having a weird experience,These are powerful drugs that have powerful effects on the body. What you are experiencing is likely to be what is known as "startup" side effects and probably won't last for more than a few days, if that. Different types of side effects may appear later, but are far less intense.

Try to be patient.
If it were me, I would cut the tablets in half and take 1/2 a tablet tomorrow afternoon and then 1/2 a tablet twice a day thereafter or until you speak to your doctor.
What were your doctor's instructions?
