Antidepressants though reduce seizure threshold are given in people with seizure disorder having anxiety, depression and ocd. If there is a recent seizure in the past 2 years, they are given under the cover of an anti epileptic, else not. Else it is a safe medicine and you can follow your psychiatrist advise. It will take approx 4 weeks to see the effects though, so be patient. Good luck.

Dear Aashi,
No drug is safe. You need to take it whenever the benefit exceeds the side effect. If you are using it without doctor's prescription, if you feel safe in storing the tablet, if you are increasing the dose over years, if your main worry is getting the tablet and if you are neglecting your responsibilities, probably you have become dependent on it.
If you are using it to reduce your anxiety, it is better that you learn a non medical method of managing your anxiety.

Doses need to be titrated as all of the anti OCD medications are also antidepressants. Apart from that you need exercise regularly so that your body also naturally tries to cope with depression by releasing endorphins during exercise. Endorphins are natural antidepressants and make mood better. Avoid caffeinated drinks as they will worsen anxiety and depression. Do some breathing exercises and relaxation techniques.
