Only you know if the meds you are taking is too much for you.
You are in a partnership with your doctor. They prescribe what the pharmacutical companies say are the effective dosages. For *me* that's way too much. I am sensative to medications.

It took a while for my doc and I to learn this fact, but, now, we're both on the same page, and deal with it effectively. For example, I take 100 mg of welbutrin, rather than the recommended 300 mg. I still get a dose that is effective, but, I get no panic attacks, (that I get on 200 mg or above.)

The point is, you are in partnership with your doctor in your health care. Discuss these things with the doc, and if you are experiencing side effects, discuss alternate therapies. But, you need to work *with* the doctor.

Hope this helps.

Shalom!
