Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Public Forum
Your current symptoms occuring due to relapse of anxiety symptoms. If you have responded better to pexep, then it is better to continue pexep in similar doses.
Pexep can be used for years even lifelong without fear of loosing effects. Apart from that stop substance use (if present) and take healthy diet for better benefit from treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Wish you Good Health.

Hello......
Thanks for your query. The symptom of excessive sleepiness can be attributed to T.Mirtax which is a sedative anti-depressant/anxiolytic and inability to concentrate might be due to anxiety symptoms which have increased following shift in medication. I would suggest you to consult your psychiatrist again and report of the above symptoms since you require a cheaper alternative to T.Paroxetine which at the same is equally effective and free of side-effects. Wish you early recovery.
