on one hand i miss the psychotic symptoms, those are actually kind of fun to me. on the other hand last time it ended me in the psych ward and eventually having to move back in with my parents and take 2 semesters off from school. Now you'd think that be enough not to stop, but i feel blah on it and gray. I don't miss the memory problems though.

can you talk to your doctor about the side effects you are having? they might be able to adjust your dosage or try a different med with fewer side effects. when i was on an antidepressant i felt better but had no energy to do anything. it was very strange. my doc ended up having me take half the med in the am and half in the pm and the problem went away completely. maybe there is some fix like that for you. take care.

i agree with [MENTION=14074]wildflower[/MENTION] -

i think it would be best to consult with your doctor and see whether the dosage might be changed, or the medication itself. each person has a highly individual (and often unpredictable) reaction to a specific type of medication and sometimes it takes a while before one can find something that is genuinely suitable. but it is worth trying.
