Call prescriber: It is important to let you prescriber know how you are doing on meds, clearly this info needs to be shared with them so they can help optimize your treatment knowing your history ect. It take some time sometimes to get on the right meds and manage Side Effects adequately-that is the actual job. Best wishes
