The psychiatrist prescribed me Asertin 100mg and Trittico Cr 50mg. I've been using this combination for a week. I started to have blood pressure spikes, palpitations, the feeling that my heart was strained, I felt tired. I'm restless. The doctor told me to modify the dose myself - halve the asertin or trittico if side effects appeared. Reducing which drug will be better?.

As a pharmacist, I cannot give individual medical advice, especially on the basis of such a short description. Any modifications in therapy, including reducing the dose of medications, should be made after consultation with the attending physician who is familiar with your health condition in detail:

In this situation, you should consult the doctor who prescribed these medicines. Especially if you are experiencing blood pressure spikes, palpitations, feelings of strain on your heart, fatigue and anxiety. These can be serious symptoms that need to be evaluated by a specialist. If you are unable to get to your doctor, I am attaching a link to the online teleconsultation:

I encourage you to report the symptoms you are experiencing to your doctor, as well as to report the occurrence of an adverse reaction of the preparation. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over the medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:
