Upping dose and I am feeling worse
A few weeks ago, my PCP doctor changed my dose from 150mg to 300mg because I was still dealing with a lot of tiredness. I definitely have been having more energy, but I’m also experiencing some negative side effects I never had when starting on 150mg.
I have been so irritable and my emotional resilience is at such a low. I keep snapping at my partner and feeling such a sense of doom. I definitely struggle with anxiety and OCD, but it doesn’t feel like it’s exacerbated that side of my mental health. It’s more in anger, feeling overwhelmed, hopelessness, and being unable to bounce back even after something super small.
I really appreciate having more energy and had felt like my 150mg dose had been giving me a little extra support, so I don’t want to go off it completely.
Has anyone else been through this? If so, how long did it last? I am trying to tough it out, but it’s really hard to know when I should just request to back to the lower dose. I am just afraid my PCP will take me off it altogether if I say I am having any issues.
