Haha. I know it's a long list. But if you even just Google side effects
for...pretty much any medication, really, you'll see they all have fairly
long lists of potential side effects. And I wouldn't be doing my job if I
didn't advise you that they're possible.
But like I said. In most cases, if the patient experiences any of them at
all, it's usually temporary. If the side effects are severe or don't go
away, we change the meds.
We can stop that one and try another, yes. There are four that are shown to
be most effective for treatment of PTSD, and we can try them all if it
comes to that.
Worst case scenario, yes, I suppose that's what it amounts to.
Patients rarely experience every side effect possible for any given
medication, so even if you do have some, there's no guarantee you'll get
that particular side effect.

They should go away within a week to two weeks.

That's highly unlikely. But there's meds for that, too :)
