Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Palpitations While On Paroxetine And Lexapro

Re-evaluation is needed for this.
Detailed Answer:
I can understand your concern. You are currently taking Lexapro 20 and 10 mg Paroxetine. Lexapro and Paroxetine both are SSRI drugs. I don't find any added benefit of using two SSRI drugs in a patient at same time. So if your anxiety is persistent then talk to your doctor for re-evaluation. There is not much use in increasing the dose of Lexapro after 20 mg. Augmentation can be done with Bupropion which will definitely improve the actions of Lexapro.
Low dose antipsychotics like Olanzapine or Risperidone can be used in your case. The drugs will supplement the actions of drugs and will help in reducing anxiety.
Thanks and Take care.
