Bookletters.... in response to your post.... I really feel for you. Switching over meds, is one of the worst unsettling experiences of them all. Hey, on the whole, things have been looking up and there is still scope for increasing the meds. It sounds to me, this is exactly what you need.
I went through a similar experience, my mood and activity peaked with my new medication regime..... it stayed up there for a few weeks and then made its slow but steady descent. I had been feeling so optimistic.... oh, what a relief to be out the depth of depression. I'm sure you will have been experiencing the same. Yesterday, things were feeling okay, today is tearful, which is unlike my tough Scottish characteristics &*&.
Recent weeks have been tough and I did consider increasing one of my meds, but made the decision to keep the dosages as they are. That may change in the future, but I'm on a low dose, so have something to play with should the going get tough. I regularly take other painkilling medication and probably have enough dopiness to contend with.
All I can say, Book, everyone to their own. I think you are on the starting dose. I also think your current low mood has been consistent enough to conclude that there probably isn't going to be any change without an increase. Have you any idea of the highest dose?
Do you have the Doc's tomor? Is this your GP who's prescribing the meds? I think it's highly appropriate to talk over your concerns with the Doc. I hope you get that opportunity.
