Don't self medicate: Before changing your medications you need to speak with your doctor. These are prescription medications for a reason. Your doctor will work with you to find the best dosages and combination of medications for uou.

See a psychiatrist: For the best understanding of your medication needs (vs. A family practice doctor). Psychiatrists have much more training in the type of medications are you taking. Take care.
