This is not the place to discuss personalized medication changes as we do not have your full medical history to reference. Do not make any changes on your own. Please check in with your treating physician as soon as possible.

These concerns are best discussed with your Psychiatrist who knows your medical history and can manage adjustments to your medication. If you are not confident with your Psychiatrist see another for a second opinion. Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help. Often medication alone is not enough and psychotherapy is needed.
