Expectancy: Many medications, esp psych types, have real serious side efx. n top of that, the experience of them is very subject to what we expect. Our interpretation of the impact is flexible - so, if let me suggest you try to see how you feel. Talk w/ your Dr about these things as you work to find the best for you. Add psychotherapy for best results!

Dosage, blood levels: Neither drug should cause this if prescribed in the right amount, at the right time of day, with blood level being monitored. If it seems like one is, you need to consider interactions with other drugs.
