My approach would be to review the diagnosis and ascertain the incomplete improvement on above treatment. Just adding tablets may not be the ultimate solution.

Better do not go for benzo at all, they are harmful on longer run. Consult your psychiatrist and seek alternatives. All the best.

Get your serum sodium and potassium level tested. Consult your psychiatrist about possibility of initiating psychotherapy with psychologist. That would help your symptoms and might help to decrease medicine dosage to some extent eventually. Causing relief from the symptoms you have narrated.

There are no drug interactions between antidepressant paroxetine 75 mg and bupropion xl 300 mg and rabies vaccination.
