You should increase the amount or even change drugs when you notice a change in your behavior or actions. Your body can adapt to medications and then no longer can do their job. If you notice yourself acting or doing things as when you did before you began the treatment then you need to go back to the doctor and see which would be best of the two choices. Sometimes its going to be trial and error when switching meds, but I would go to the doctor if you notice any change in yourself.Health Question & Answer
