Often: Adding a new psychotropic (a drug that works on the brain) may cause symptoms such as you described. Sometimes they will subside over time. If not, you have choices: discontinue the new medication. Lower the dose of the new medicine and increase very slowly (start low and go slow). Decrease the dose of both medications and if needed increase them slowly. Consult a pharmacy and your doctor.

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
