Just some thoughts.
All medications, working or not, need to be "monitored".
For us, what this means is that we have to have open communication with our prescriber so that they know what effects the medication(s) are creating.
Additionally, things in life change, so does your body chemistry (more often than people know), and as a result, the medications prescribed can be modified by those changes.
What to do?
Talk to your prescriber about the changes in the effect(s) that you are experiencing.

Example:
One of the medications we take for anxiety is Ativan which is a benzodiazapine (sp?). It was originally prescribed as take 1 tablet as needed for anxiety (with only 10 dispensed per month to lessen the likelihood of dependence).
SOMETIMES 1 tablet is too much and only 1/2 a tablet is necessary to quell the edginess. This was agreed to by our prescriber over the phone.

My point:
After discussing it with your prescriber, the two of you may decide on a method that will ease the depression and yet not have you "over-stimulated"

Just our two cents.

Be Well and stay safe,
