Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

I can understand your concern. Paradise is Paroxetine which is a SSRI drug. You were on 25 mg doses and were stable on it. Now you have been advised to take Lithium Carbonate, Flupentixole, Escitalopram (Feliz S) for these symptoms.

Feliz S is related to Paradise only as both drugs belong to SSRI drugs. Licab is a mood stabiliser and is used commonly in bipolar disorders. Though you haven't mentioned your symptoms but most likely the drugs have been changed in your case to provide for mood stabilisation. Please consult you psychiatrist again to remove any more doubts.

Thanks, Take care.
