Brief Answer:
Symptoms are psychological

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The medication effects do not last for ore than a week . Since it has been 2 weeks past dosage, i believe the symptoms you have more of psychological rather than organic.

Need not worry, do not concentrate on the symptoms, try to forget the issue and concentrate on other aspects. This is very common entity and is not serious and will wane off over time.

Drink green tea and Cranberry juice this will remove all left out toxic metabolites from the body.

Hope, I answered your query.
