Talk w/your doctor: I'm glad your depression is better. That's good news! to address any problems with your antidepressants themselves, it's best to talk with the doctor who's working with and prescribing for you. I don't know what medications you're on, and it's possible doses could be adjusted or medications changed if need be.
