Side effects on antidepressants are hard to predict and even harder to explain. A "good" doctor may be cognizant of this and may admit not knowing what to do rather than making something up off the top of his head. Why do you want legal help? Do you think the doctor did something maliciously r negligently? Not knowing something that is occasionally unknowable isn't going to make a great legal offense.
If you're still suffering the side effects, you need to drop down to the lower dose, slowly, or taper yourself completely off of the medication. Is that what you're doing now with your doctor's supervision? That's the only solution right now unless you have some sort of neurotoxicity, in which case you need specialized evaluation that the average psychiatrist won't have.
Your explanation of "really strange reaction" and "dosage change" doesn't help me much, but I am trained in this sort of thing as a neuroscientist.
