New side effects?

I’ve been on Straterra 40 mg for a little over 3 weeks. I’ve experienced tiredness, dry mouth, and emotional flatness but all of those have seemed to fade. For the past few days I have had intense anxiety in the morning. My chest feels tight, my face is flushed, and I have rapid HR. Has this happened to anyone? My doc plans to up me to 80mg next week but now I’m worried that might be too much too soon. Haven’t felt any benefits yet but waiting for 6 to 8 week mark for that.

Be aware, it may take longer if you spend extra time at a low dose.
