General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, single antidepressants may need to be switched to a combination of serotonin receptors blockers alongside benzodiazepines, however, you need to have a detailed review with a psychiatrist and a motivational psychologist and detailed sessions relating to your needs and treatment may be targeted accordingly for better response otherwise decrease in efficiency with persistent dose may occur.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
