In the past I've experienced doctors and mental health professionals who don't seem to listen, and find they often have a path to follow. They should listen to patients more.

The meds do take around 3-4 months to take effect, and upping the dose you may get side effects again. It is a slow process, but persevering on them is so worth it.

Many years ago I had to stop the contraceptive pill because my legs, feet and ankles started to swell, and I'd been taking it for years. Could it be an interaction maybe?
The Patient Information Leaflet does say to tell your doctor as soon as possible if you notice any general swelling, hands, feet, ankles, face or eye area. Maybe next time you visit, take the leaflet from your medication box with you and point it out.
Its probably nothing to worry about, but if it annoys you then let him know.
