Check With MD: Always check first with the prescribing md when you have questions about your medications. This individual is uniquely qualified by virtue of their expertise and their specific knowledge of your situation to offer help. Dose reductions, like dose increases, may cause side effects. But of greater concern is the reemergence of clinical symptoms. Contact your doctor right away. You are in good hands.
