Yes the medicines will help you and you are getting better as you yourself said. These medications should continue for at least 1 to 2 years after complete recovery. Don't stop them without consulting your Psychiatrist. A home you can practice breathing exercises and learn relaxation techniques from the internet and do them at home. Am sure all this along with the medication you'll be fine very soon.

12.5 mg of paroxetine drug is the lowest dose that is usually used to start the drug or when treated to taper down from high doses to this dose and then be stopped, hence in my suggestion if he has been treated off an illness and the doctor put him on this dose for quiet dome time, then even if stopped you don't need to restart it unless required.

Since You are a heart patient, it is advisable for you to take medications that have least effect on the heart. Paroxetine is a SSRI, which is considered to very safe for heart patients. On the other hand Zapiz is Clonazepam which is a benzodiazepine which should be used on a short term basis. They should not be taken for more than 4 weeks as they may cause dependence. In my opinion, if you responding well to Paroxetine kindly continue it. In case of Zapiz, try to stop taking it after 3-4 weeks ...more

Dear lybrate-user,
don't diagnose the disease from the tablets. The same tablet can be given for many disorders at different dose. It will work for depression in 2-3 weeks, if the dose is adequate. If you want to help her, please discuss with her psychiatrist. She needs simultaneous treatment for her hypothyroidism and diabetes also.
