Above all, I would be adamant about not letting your doctor just increase your dose. Hopefully, your doctor is pretty knowledgeable to begin with, but I have heard cases where the following happens. He or she hears that you feel apathetic, tired, nonfeeling (however you wish to describe it) and thinks, "hmm... it sounds like your depression is relapsing. Let's increase your medication to counter this." Of course this is not what you want as it is a big part of the problem to begin with.
