What I find strange is the reduced thoughts. You would have thought the med was slowing that down as opposed to stimulating it? But then that's probably more about the adrenaline & glutamine side and if your med has been working on the noradrenaline receptors then maybe that's the stimulation element but I don't know what this meds affinity is for those? Some SSRI's seem to do that.
If two meds are working on the same receptors then they are combining in some way. Just like a switch there is some overlapping effects.
I would do what you think is right. If you try larger drops then you know the risks are the potential for a harder hit if the withdrawal comes and some time needed to rebalance yourself on a higher dose to come back down more gradually. Coming down more gradually brings less risk of this but takes much longer. But it may even be that you won't feel withdrawal as much until you get into the lower doses, like benzo users report, and I remember coming off Cit years ago the final reduction was where I felt it more pronounced.
