Question about my medication dosage

I would try a higher dose and if that doesn't work, ask if you can switch medications. I was on 4 or 5 different antidepressants before I found one that stayed working. I currently take Wellbutrin in the morning and Paxil at bedtime and it helps!

I was on Geodon for over a year, but it stopped working a few months ago. I guess our bodies needs change as time goes on.

Agree that it takes time to kick in. Don’t be afraid to communicate with your doctor about what you’re feeling or how you’re feeling. This is YOUR health and you should be in control in it. I was on Prozac for about 6+ years before I felt that it stopped doing anything good. Before that I tried a lot of other medications and they either had no effect or the side effects weren’t worth it for me. Ask to see if you can increase the dose a bit. Some doctors also supplement medications with another as a “booster.”

I’d definitely talk to your doctor about switching or changing your dose. That should have been long enough for you to feel an improvement.

Talk to your doctor. As stated above, finding the right med or dose takes time! The best thing you can do is communicate with your doctor.

I haven't taken that specific med myself, but I'd talk to your doctor about possibly changing the dose or medication. I had the same thing happen with Lexapro. I was on it for about 5-6 months and it was working great, and then winter came along and my seasonal depression kicked in h a r d. I talked to my doc and she increased my dose, and then it was working just as well as before. It usually takes some time to find the right dose with any medication in my experience. And that's assuming it's the right one for you, I've had other meds where increasing the dose only made things worse so I had to switch to a completely different one. Your prescribing doc will definitely be the best person to decide what's the best option though since they know your whole medical history and stuff. But yeah I don't think it's unusual for how well a medication works to change over time, the body adapts.

I wonder if your body has got use to it and you need a different one now
