I would definitely following what your Doc says. It’s important for you to maintain a direction with the medication so your Doc can measure whether it’s helping you get better. Take the med. I’ve had many years of taking different meds to help and I’ve changed meds as my doctor has told me to and it works! You can tell and should tell your Doc when it’s not working. It happens to all of us fighting with our body, heart issues, depression issues, anxiety, etc, etc. Have patience with your Doc. They know what’s best for you.
