Doubling my medication?

[slamjoetry]

I've been extremely depressed for the past few weeks. Been going through a lot, and it feels like the meds aren't helping enough. I'm thinking about taking double the normal amount of my pills and hoping it helps. Has anyone ever tried something like this? What were your results?

And in case anyone asks, I'm on Effexor, Risperidone, and Oxcarbazepine, for my bipolar depression.

I'm not a doctor, but it would be helpful if you said what dose you're taking and for how long.

You could ask the psychiatrist if it's a good or bad idea. However, you are the patient and you always have the right to decide.
