Try self-care first: Aim for daily exercise, 8 hours of sleep per night & good nutrition w 5 servings of veggies & 4 of fruit per day. Try tai chi, yoga, Qi Gong, progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing exercises & meditation. Don't isolate - spend time w friends even if is at a distance & stay active.

Adjusting: Counseling may help and taking time off if possible. Adjusting will take time and meds are not expected to change that.
