Depression medication
I have been struggling with depression. Two years ago I was out on serdep anti depressants 100 mg and azor .5 mg. Last year I had a bad breakdown and the psych told me I was bipolar but didnt do any test. The medication made me aggressive and didn't help at all. She made my anti depressants less to 50 mg and took away my anxiety meds.
Can I increase my dosage to 100 mg myself. I can't go to a dr now as I am unemployed and I am going through a baaaad patch with terrible anxiety

As per the history you have bipolar illness. Aggressive behavior with sertaline 100mg is switching over to mania phase. So currently depression phase need to be adequately addressed. Need to add a mood stabilizer.lithum could be ideal for u... In my opinion. Hence you need to go to a doctor and get your medication reviwed
