This is not how these meds are designed to be used and you're really asking for a few weeks of grief by bouncing like thins. Stop! They take A MINIMUM of 2-3 weeks to settle in, this isn't aspirin, okay?
Stick with ONE med and give it the time it needs to work, yes, the first few days will not feel good, this is NORMAL! Settle down and let things work out and you will feel 1,000% better.
One med, time and patience = wellness.
Okay???
