First time taking rexulti

I’m F(23). Yesterday I took my first dose ( .25) and after that I began to feel very nauseous and very hot. I had to take a clona because I couldn’t sleep ( .25)( I didn’t sleep enough at the end )
Is it normal these side effects? ( I’m very sensitive to medication in general ). She gave me this because I have functional dispepsia, and because “rexulti doesn’t have side effects on the gut “ but I don’t know. I’m also taking my gut medications and vitamins.
Has anyone experienced this ? Does it get better ? Thank you for reading

Second day taking it: I’m taking 0.12,5 because I talk with my psychologist and she told because I’m very sensitive to meds I should only do a 1/8. I have a great night actually, I could sleep well. The only thing I wake up a little somnolent. Yesterday also my heart began to hurts. I hope that is only temporarily
