As for messing with dosages... could it just be in my head??? Maybe, but it feels like it helps (seems to take two or three days to feel a difference). And feels good to have some control over the moods. I don't know, maybe they will try to add an antidepressant too. Just prefer fewer meds if possible.
Would love feedback!

Now that you mention it, I think I HAVE heard of this. (heh... guess I forgot about it... that's happening a lot lately)
If it takes a few days to feel any different then it might
not actually be in your head. At the same time, you could have just been naturally coming out of the cycle anyway. It's always SO hard to tell it's almost infuriating. How much to do you increase/decrease the dose? What's your standard dosage?
