Wow. I haven't heard "titrating" since the last English chemistry class I failed. That was long enough ago that I had to look it up before I could remember.

Med cocktails do, indeed, create unpredictable interactions. In addition to asking the prescribing physician, I also ask the dispensing pharmacist. Pharmacists are also PhD's with specialized knowledge physicians often lack. They are also tend to be more accessible with far shorter wait times.

Gentle support while you find your ideal titrations, Mattie.

Thanks Arfie For the advice and the support. I just learned what the word meant.

Yes I have. It is not fun. My psychiatrist always wants me to up the dose of my one med, he says I don't take a high enough dose of it. So, I'll go up a little one day, I don't like it, then take my "old" dose the next day, then try the higher dose the day after.... just as you are describing.

It is not easy but you will be okay. Drink plenty of water. On the days of the higher dose if you feel like it's too much medicine for that day, I have tried eating more that day... I don't know, I feel like it soaks it up more or something... Just a thought... not sure if that really works. Take a short nap if you can, that will also help lessen the bad effects. Hang in there!

I agree, staying hydrated, is so, so important. Plus eating enough to keep the body in motion (normal pace) will make the adjustment better to assess.

Best wishes.

GirlinCalif thanks for understanding my thoughts. I am going to try this because I am so sensitive to meds it is always too much. I have a hard time eating but will try to increase that. I do drink lots of water thinking it’s flushing some out of my system.

Thanks mid I wish these adjustments weren’t so hard to tolerate.
