Hello,
In order to know how the medication may have affected you, I would need to know what the medication was that was lowered from 250 to 200mg.
However, in general, once a medication dose is adjusted, the effects should resolve as soon as the body clears the excess medication and reaches the new level according to the dose, so in general, I wouldn't worry about any permanent affects from medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
