Is additional antidepressant needed for depression after taking paxil and xanax for relieving anxiety?
human
I am taking 10mg Paxil daily and I also take 1mg Xanax 2x daily prn.  My anxiety seems better, but my depression seems worse. Before Paxil, I was taking 30mg Cymbalta. I quit taking Cymbalta because it seemed to elevate my liver enzymes.  Should I speak to my doctor about an additional antidepressant?

hi..thanks for using healthcaremagic .comu r taking Tab Paxil 10mg in a day. it is a good drug but the dose in sub therapeutic. in your case dose should be more than 20mg per day. u can speak to your doctor to elevate the dose of drug rather than add an additional antidepressant.thanks
