Since you are already on medication I suggest you talk to your treating Psychiatrist and convey your current symptoms to them. It is possible that some changes in medication dosages will help improve the symptoms. As they are familiar with your history it is always better to have a discussion with them regarding this situation.

If the persons around you are feeling that there has been a change in your behaviour, compared to what you were before (before having illness, that is what you were normally), you must visit your psychiatrist as soon as possible.
There can be some situations where we are not aware of change in our behaviour after taking medications.

I think you are being treated for bipolar depression. At the outset let me inform you that is a very difficult situation to rely on medication alone. You need to combine intense counseling to learn coping skills and techniques to handle the complications of life that is anyway challenging even for the ordinary person. There are certain adaptations that will suit you during the elation phase and there are certain behaviors that are required during the depressed phases. In the meantime you can do ...more

Ssris and snris are combined very frequently by psychiatrists to get optimum results and sometimes more quickly and sometimes when monotherapy is not working as well. If you have any other questions you are welcome to ask them privately.
