Unfortunately, if you've only had two doses, I think the side effects might increase as days go by. I've taken it for depression (though my doctor thought it would be a good idea to start on 5mg) and it took a full week before the side effects were at their highest. Though my reaction included absence seizures so it was rather unusual. I don't know what would have happened if I had taken it longer because the twitching, the seizures, the weird speech and scary blood pressure changes were just too much for me to endure.
I remember reading that the drowsiness goes away after a few weeks though.
