Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I would suggest you only paxil and clonazepam. Stay on that combination for two weeks and then gradually try to increase the dose of paxil. Paxil would help to control both depression as well as anxiety symptoms. Initial few days, most of antidepressants lead to side effects like anxiety symptoms. Better to discuss with your psychiatrist for proper management.
