No wonder since you are triggering your dopaminergic system with a powerful med.As >>cumulative<< noted above, I too had some side effects at the initial stage. Right after taking Trivastal, I switched into an agitated state for which I had to take a good dose of Ativan. All that was at night, in the morning I felt fairly well.
Now, after raising my dose from 50 to 100mg, I am really getting fired up. I am finding pleasure in almost everything. Other than this, libido has been increased to a pleasant level.
No noticable side effects. Most dopaminergics cause sleep attacks which limits their use. But Trivastal is devoid of this side effect. Could be because of its action on noradrenergic receptors.
Anyway, don't give up. You may feel discomfortable for some days and even would feel like an increase in depressive symptoms. But these would definitely pass. And once you have passed these, you will never regret it.
