Bipolar Dosage Increase Reg

2020-07-12 11:58:47
I was taking Sertaline 100mg 1-0-0 Lithium SR 400mg 1-0-0 Quitipine 200mg 0-0-1 Alproxolam 0.5mg 0-0-1 Due to some OCD problem, I consulted a Psychiatry Doctor last week. He shifted the morning dose Sertaline 100mg increased to 150mg asked me to take at Night along with Quitipine 300mg (newly increased) For the last two days I have chest pain. Whether I hv to go for my original dosage or if I cut down 100mg Quitipine this cheats pain will get over?
