I believed I would become more manic without reducing my antidepressant. I was not able to speak with my doctor for a week. I talked with my mother who is a doctor. I made a judgment call and it worked out for me. I would prefer permission to increase or decrease my antidepressant slightly if my manic or depressive symptoms start interfering with my life one week is a long to tolerate severe symptoms. As I said, I would like to discuss a protocol such as increase by 40mg if depressed, decrease by 40mg if becoming manic. Leave a message with my pdoc.
