I have not had experience with that specific med but am on other treatments that affect my depression and moods. It is an on-going issue: start one then it affects the others that am already on or one gets increased then decreases the affects of another. This is especially true of any treatments I have had through the endocrinologist as many for me are hormonal based; they affect my AD's and anti-psych meds that they then need to be adjusted. It is just a balancing act but by adjusting them when this happens, they do level out and keep me stable.

Consider talking to your pdoc or GP, whomever prescribes your AD, about what is going on. It is not uncommon for other meds to influence your other treatments. I have not wanted to raise the AD meds in the past either but if it keeps me balanced, symptom free, and safe, it is worth it to me.

I hope you find a balance soon and that you don't have to give up one for the other.
