Dr. Barbara Lavi answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Have him speak: with the prescribing physician. Is he working with a psychiatrist? If not he should consult with a psychiatrist as well. They can decide together whether to adjust or change the medication. Psychotherapy may also be needed.
