Hi all,
The psychiatrist that prescribed me my medication wants a check up with me next month.
I have been on medication since Feb 2015.
I felt the medication worked well for 6 months then I went back to how I was before the medication.
The moment where I relapsed coincided with workplace bullying and being fired from two jobs as well as stress from family.
So I am not sure if me relapsing is due to the medication not working anymore or life stresses being too much.
My psychiatrist said he wanted to get me off the medication after one year.
Do I just say to him that I am not sure if it has helped and let him decide?

Hi Paul.
Thank you.
I have been on the increased dose since Wednesday last week. Feel a bit calmer.
