Hey lybrate-user. Hope you are doing well. The regimen matters in psychiatric medications. Please stick to the dosage prescribed by your doctor. All medicines need to be taken for the time they have been given. Unlike other medications, we can not choose to reduce dosage or stop taking. That being said, finish the course and then go to psychiatrist to explain side effects. Sometimes side effects are maximum in the first week as body is readjusting to healthy levels.
