Dear lybrate-user,
the change in medicine often makes you uncomfortable for short duration. Gradually anxiety goes away afer 3-4 days. You can wait for few days till you feel better. Doctor might have changed medicine considering some points of your symptoms. I would not be able to solve your problem until I know all your problem in detail. If you have intolerable problem you can either consult me or other psychiatrist.
Else you can talk to your own psychiatrist for such complaints.

Yes zaptra is paroxetine which is good for panic attacks with anxiety. But consult a psychiatrist before doing so. Usually flunil is not combined with zaptra as both are ssri and have almost similar action.

As per your weight in my opinion your zaptra dose needs to be optimised, kindly call your treating doctor for further advice.
And zapiz is unlikely to make you feel sad. Your baseline problem of anxiety once corrected with proper drug dosages you will feel better. Do not loose your heart you will be fine.

Postpartum depression is the condition you seem to have initially had. In few women it continues as persistent depression. Zaptra is a good medicine for the same, but the clonazepam part in it needs to be tapered and stopped first and then if you are emotionally well the paroxetine part can also be tried to be minimised and stopped. For this, you need to consult an astute psychiatrist. The tapering of medications can take few months. All the best.

Lybrate-user,
Paroxetine is a newer antidepressant known as SSRI. The dose you are taking is also low. There are side effects to any medications and this is why it is important that the psychiatrist monitors you regularly for both symptoms of depression and side effects of medication. However medications are prescribed after taking the pros and cons into consideration and when the benefit of medications outweigh any risks they may have.

Dear lybrate-user,
How long the medication will continue depends upon why you are taking them and what is the severity of your symptoms. Usually the anti depressants are taken for at least 6 months and then it has to be continued depending on your response to medications. If you are suffering from side effects please consult psychiatrist who can adjust the dose or change the medication. Thanks

But due to certain reasons if you are on antidepressants you have to take some extra care of yourself. You need counseling session f...more

Taking all these medicines also will not cure the problems.
Better take homoeopathic treatment.
