Brief Answer:
Low dose anti-psychotics can be added.

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for using ask a doctor service

You have depression, anxiety, phobias and poor self esteem. What kind of phobia do you have?

Please provide me more details.

You are currently on 10 mg Nexito two times a day, 75 mg Venlafaxine twice a day and Toficalm 10 mg twice a day and still there is anxiety. In that case one thing that can be done is to add some low dose antipsychotic drug in order to supplement the antidepressants. Addition of Olanzapine or Risperidone can be done. This will help in reducing the anxiety and you will feel better. You can talk with your doctor for that. This will also help in improving the sleep. Drugs like Clonazepam or Alprazolam or Etizolam can be used on SOS basis to reduce the exacerbations of anxiety. This will help to control severe anxiety and your self confidence will improve.

Thanks and Take care.

Please let me know if you have more doubts.

Brief Answer:
Wait for some times, medicines will definitely act

Detailed Answer:
Hello again

First of all I'd like to tell you that masturbation is a safe habit and it doesn't cause any sexual or physical side effects. So stop worrying for this. If the local quack said you ruined your life then this was to create confusion in you and to extract money from you. Most of people masturbate and this is normal.

Now coming to your anxiety and depression. The prescription you are currently on is good prescription. Just continue to take this as advised and you will see benefit in coming weeks. Medicines take time to act and wait for some time. You will be alright in some weeks. Remain relaxed.

Thanks.
