Dear Parveen,
It is nice to know that you don't have any further episode with regular oxcarbazepine. As age advances, clonazepam and lorazepam (ativan) interferes with your memory and does not give any added benefits for your mood. So please reduce one by one slowly. Start with ativan 0.5 mg for 2 weeks and stop. Then clonazepam also 0.5 mg for 2 weeks and stop. You can use etizolam if anxiety or sleep becomes a problem temporarily for next 1 month. Please continue your mood stabilisers.

Depression can have an effect on our concentration which interferes with learning and recall of information. Although a healthy nutritious diet is important, here are some tips which might be useful:

Paroxetine belongs to ssri group of medications which though are good antidepressants cause sexual dysfunction commonly. But not to worry, they are reversible and you need to consult your psychiatrist and get your prescription revised for control of your depression as well as improvement in your sexual performance do not take these on your own for many years, then the problem becomes much more difficult to handle. Good luck.
