Is Additional Antidepressant Needed For Depression After Taking Paxil And Xanax For Relieving Anxiety?
I am taking 10mg Paxil daily and I also take 1mg Xanax 2x daily prn. My anxiety seems better, but my depression seems worse. Before Paxil, I was taking 30mg Cymbalta. I quit taking Cymbalta because it seemed to elevate my liver enzymes. Should I speak to my doctor about an additional antidepressant?

hi..
thanks for using healthcaremagic .com
u r taking Tab Paxil 10mg in a day. it is a good drug but the dose in sub therapeutic. in your case dose should be more than 20mg per day. u can speak to your doctor to elevate the dose of drug rather than add an additional antidepressant.
thanks
