Hi XXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
Let me assure you that multiple medications are not always harmful with their side effects, I support taking medications under this situation.
Paxidep CR can cause some anxiety symptoms, of which increased pulse rate is a symptom.
However, may be a better idea to do a ECG
If your diagnosis is anxiety disorder, then I think your doctor will not continue Risdone for a long time, so also Lonazep
And your doctor might increase the dose of Paxidep CR, as higher dose of paxidep CR taken for few weeks, at least, will show response
Hope this gives some idea
You are most welcome to come here for any clarification
Wish you a good luck
