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.� Do not experiment on your own with the medication and dosages as these trials will cause worsening of your symptoms and may result in significant side effects. It is not advisable to make any changes in medication on your own. Consult your treating Psychiatrist and follow what is prescribed.
