Hi Lawrence, thank's for your reply
Can you describe those symptoms?
I met my pdoc, and I will lower the dose to 2000mg then maybe to 1600mg. Depends how I feel with 2000. In fact I'm tempted to lower directly to 1600. I don't want to feel like I did in the last few days.
I makes me angry when I think that I can never tell for sure if a med helps me or not.
Bye,

It might be also because of something that happened to me last week, but the last two days I felt on the edges of psychosis. Dysphoric, self-detructive impulses, self-hatred. Tomorrow, I meet my pdoc.
