To provide you proper help first you need proper evaluation, by information provided by you it is not clear whether agitation was present even before starting nexito or it started after starting nexito.
Next Steps
You should meet a good psychiatrist/mental health professional for proper evaluation.
Health Tips
Don't discontinue treatment suddenly.

Sometimes nexito ls can cause drowsiness if taken during daytime. Shift it to night time. Also if your primary complaint was agitation and it did not get addressed by the prescribed medication maybe a repeat evaluation and reassessment of diagnosis is needed. I provide online consultation and therapy support you can contact me directly on seven eight seven seven six three nine six eight two for detailed evaluation and management.

This can sometimes happen with medications. Usually dose adjustment helps. If you are not abel to tolerate the effects of the medications at all then switching to another medication might be another option
Next Steps
Discuss with your psychiatrist about dose adjustment or consult another psychiatrist for a second opinion

Hii... I can understand what you're going through. The agitation and excessive sleepiness you are experiencing after starting (Nexito) are likely medication-related side effects, which can occur in the initial weeks or due to dose sensitivity.
However, persistent discomfort indicates the need for reassessment.
Next Steps
Kindly do not stop the medication abruptly.
It is advisable to consult psychiatrist for dose adjustment, timing modification, or change of medication based on your symptoms.
Health Tips
Prefer taking the medication at night if causing daytime sleepiness
• Maintain a regular sleep–wake cycle
• Observe and note any worsening of agitation or new symptoms
• Consider psychotherapy support alongside medications
Consult a psychiatrist online or offline for further assessment and treatment
