Do you have a good PDoc to guide you? I don't think thats been made clear and in my mind its the most important thing. We may think we know what is right, and often we are, but a good PDoc could do somthing as change dosages and your meds have a whole new effect. Thats what happened to me. Please don't try to to this on your own. Get the BEST PDoc you can and give him all your records.
This fooling around with your meds scares me. It may feel good now but what about later? Think about being well for the long run. Get that PDoc and follow his instructions to a tee. If there is a problem let him know. He should be willing to guide you. And Scott is right, on some meds it gets worse before it gets better, and the early side effects go away as your body adapts. But that can take a while. It took me almost 3 months to respond to my med and boy did I.You have to learn to be a "patient patient" (I thought of that myself, but its so true)haha
Good luck Tepi, I hope you give alot of thought to our posts ;-)
