I agree with the points already made below here. It seems "okay" to futz, within reason, with a-d's. In fact, my pdoc "trusts" me enough that she had told me back when I was on Paxil that if I felt a downswing, to up the dose by 10mg for a few days and go back to my regular dose when I felt better. This worked for me for quite some time, plus I could tell (side effects would start) when I no longer needed the extra boost.
@noon, I decided to take 10 extra mg of Prozac. Within a couple of hours, I felt better. My head did that "breathing a sigh of relief" thing.
I've just started a mood-stabilizer and don't know if one can futz with them or not.
The whole subject is one to discuss with your pdoc. Good luck!
