Doc wanted to change meds

drewpvm April 8th, 2023

My doctor wanted to change meds. Cause the one I was on wasn't working very well. Also decided to lower my anti depressant. She says new evidence shows its not the best idea to be on them (not sure if I believe it) guess what I wanna know is if this sounds like what you guys experience. Night sweats waking up tossing and turning like a bunch. Agitated and randomly crying. May I add I cope with weed and lately seems like hasn't been helping as much. Also pacing around and not very happy with doing what I'm doing. Is this maybe the tail end of a manic episode? Or just depression idk anymore and my doctor hasn't gotten back to me

Also I always heavily get invested in trying to "figure it out"

@drewpvm If my doctor took me off of my anti-depressants or lowered the dosis I would feel the same way. He is not allowed to lower it without your consent though :)

If you wanna go back to your old dosis, then you are allowed to demand that. Especially if you can back it up with yourself feeling worse. That being said you WILL get abstinenses from a lowered dosis, and it WILL get better. But if you think you need them to function, tell your doctor that! :)
