Talk to experienced psychiatrist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Instead of adding one more tablet to the list of medications you are taking, please try taking the night dose of your medication a bit earlier. A lot of patients find that it helps with reducing the daytime sedation and lethargy the following day.
If that does not work, I would suggest you consult your Psychiatrist to help you with dose adjustments.
Next Steps
Take night dose of medication earlier.
Consult your Psychiatrist.

Sir,
Medicines are not chocolates, that you might add to your will.
Each medication has side effects and doses have to be rationally chosen based on past history.
So kindly discus with your doctor regarding the same and get an informed advice, if you wish to avoid complications in your treatment.
