You could drop the dose down a bit and stay there. A recent 6 year study with thousands of patients showed that the usual 6 to 8 weeks trial was not enough. Many people who had an inadequate response in that time frame had a good response at 12 weeks. The zombiness may go away by then too.
Easier said than done, believe me I know.
When seeing the doctor, keep the attitude in mind that you are the paying customer. I mean, when you spend money for anything else you expect to get your money's worth, right? Whatever thoughts, words, or phrases you use, make sure to convey that message.
You can also be right up frank and honest. Let them know exactly how bad and how serious the situation is and how disappointed you are with their performance. Tell them you know they can do better and you want to see results.
