Do not stop taking the medication or change the dose without discussing it with your doctor.

Take a computer test like the MMPI-2 to find out what your really have objectively, reliably, sensitively, specifically, validly. Also buy Dan Amen MD's book "End of Mental Illness" for life style changes such as mediation, prayer, exercise, neutraceuticals or vitamins to replace the deficient biochemistry in your frontal lobes.

It is best to discuss your medication with your Psychiatrist who knows your medical history. If you are not confident in your Doctor please see another for a second opinion. Meds tend to work more effectively when you also have psychotherapy. Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy.
