I now sort of understand my doctor's approach to combining and introducing or removing medications even if it is a bit frustrating -- you don't do it all at once.
Why? Well for one it creates a vast unknown brew, but more importantly, one will never appreciate any changes if you don't give something a week or at least part of one to let things percolate. Psychiatric changes for the most part with complex agents other than say an IV injection of Haldol for a catatonic patient, occur on a longer term basis -- the neuroplasticity of the brain.
