Hi Katia,
So sorry, you are having problems with your
meds. I can't comment with any real knowledge
on these particular drugs, but i can tell you
that in my experience, you might benefit from
the knowledge of a psychiatrist who specializes
in medicating psychiatric conditions. I am
personally extremely grateful to my doctor
who is not a specialist in the psych. area at all,
but who does have access to some of the biggest
research and academic psychiatrists in Montreal--
infact, when he does not know the answer he
gets it from them i suspect and when i was first
diagnoses it was on request on a psych. dr. team.Also, i have the benefit of the respect of this
doctor to tinker with my drugs and respond with
the positive or negative effects. So, i think
i have been fortunate. Ideally, if that is not
something you can get in your town, finding a
psychiatrist, say from a hospital search -- call
and ask for one -- is in my opinion the safest
foundation to treat these symptoms.Just my opinion but i believe this strongly.
