I wish to say that if you wish you may take medicines. Basically medicine is a temperorary relief only. Try to sleep without taking medicine. If possible you may take flax seed/powder and boiled into a glass of water. Automatically you may recover from hidden problems. Psychologist rajendran.

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.

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
