“My depression pills?”

It is not recommended to take more than prescribed. Taking an excessive dose can place you at greater risk of side effects and potential harm to your heart and other organs. If you are having symptoms which have not fully responded to medication, talk with your psychiatrist to determine if the dose should be adjusted or if you may need to try a different treatment.

Depends on which medication and what dose. Also depends on individual biological responses. Normally it metabolizes soon.

 Hello, This is a question you need to ask your prescribing doctor.  Also, you can consult a psychiatrist, a PCP, and a prescribing psychologist.  In the state of Florida psychologists at this point are not allowed to prescribe medicines. Even in the states that allow the psychologists to prescribe medicines and give advice regarding the prescriptions, it does not mean that every psychologist in that state can prescribe or give advice about medicines.  They need to get training in psychopharmacology and get certified.  Whereas all PCPs and Psychiatrists can prescribe as they have a Medical Doctor degree. Follow your prescribing doctor's advice as medicines can also have side effects so you need to be careful.

Adverse reactions, side effects, and/or toxicity may occur. It is advised to never change the prescribed dose without your doctor's advice.
