brain chemical levels are not really to be messed with, but in the case of it, you really got to give time. It doesn't happen overnight, that the brain gets used to altered levels of serotonin, dopamin, etc.

Being really angry, really angry was one of my complaints, this last time on the meds.
I had some ideation, anger, couldn't sleep, and well...my 'drive' went from rather normal to Nothing!!! That's one side effect, I am NOT about to wait for.
If the pdoc, accepts our reasons, it just is. Some of us, do have to learn to cope and manage sans meds. *sigh*
