For me, I have switched medications when either side effects are bad, or the drug doesn’t work anymore. I haven’t experienced a time when a medication didn’t react with me in some way - good or bad.
Normally, if a med hasn’t been working that just started, my pdoc would increase the dose to see if that helps or if side effects were bad. And just kinda take it from here.
