I am having some hypomanic symptoms such as overspending, excess energy (while awake,) and pressured speech. I would like to reduce my antidepressant, though will wait until I see my pdoc on the 20th unless it gets worse.
I want to talk to my pdoc about having the freedom to increase or decrease my antidepressant a predetermined amount upon noticing symptoms rather than waiting until I see him next, or talk to him on the phone. He only works 2 days a week, so it would take a long time to get ahold of him.
Has any had/does anyone have an arrangement to make small medication adjustments themselves when symptoms change?
