Hello Dazed Mommy,
My answer might not ba as clear asothers since atm I only take some anxiolytics PRN but here goes.
When I was firts diagnosed years ago (over a decade ago) I was put on different medications. For me anytime they changed my meds was an adjustment, My body had to get used to the new meds. For a little while I would feel bad and have more side effects.
Upping the doses pretty much had the same effects. I felt weird and not well, on egde and all that. More side effects for a bit. Then it would stabilize.
Even upping my anxiety pills has a weird effect. For the fort few days I feel a bit sluggish and les sharp.
Anyway, that is my experience with upping, changing or replacing meds. If you ever decide you want my take on weening from meds, feel free to ask! Since I have been diagnosed I have had plenty of time to get on and get off meds lol!
In my experience tho, everyone reacts to meds in their own unique way, so the best thing to do is to discuss all this very closely with your doctor. He is the best persone to help you with this :)
Oh and for questions, the pharmacist is often a underutilized treasure of information!
Anyway, sorry for rambling and have a nice day :)
