Hi Mr. lybrate-user although both these medications help with anxiety, their effective doses are different. Pexep/ paroxetine is a short acting medication and can cause a rise in anxiety when stopped. I’d suggest you start nexito 5 mg while still continuing pexep and then gradually increase nexito to 10 mg while reducing pexep. Please consult for a better assessment and judgment of treatment. Hope this helps

Dear , since you are overweight for your height. I suggest you try different antidepressant instead. Paroxetine is linked to weight gain and dry mouth. I suggest you ask your psychiatrist if he can give you other antidepressants that actually help reduce weight such as bupropion, fluoxetine etc. I wish you all the best.
