Suggest Medication For Depression And Anxiety

MD added Abilify 2 mg to Paxil 20mg. Had taken Paxil 40mg and worked for a month for depression along with anxiety and panic attacks. It suddenly quit & MD switched to Zoloft 100mg, then increased up to 200mg with not much benefit. He switched back to the Paxil/Abilify combo. If it doesn't work can it be increased to Paxil 40mg/Abilify 2mg

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Depression and anxiety are always considered states of mind and are classified under mental disorders. Mental disorders are usually treated with a combination of medicines, physical exercises, psychotherapy, life style changes and meditation. You are having medicines. Medicines alone cannot cure any mental disorders. You should try the other three options. You should talk to your psychiatrist about the given treatment methods. They should work for you, I am sure.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
