Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I can understand your concern regarding your situation. You are currently on three types of antidepressants (pexep, cipralex and mirtaz) together with clonazepam. As you have mentioned, its been 20-25 days since you started the medications, I would suggest you revisit your psychiatrist for a review.

Had I been your psychiatrist, I would have started you on only one anti-depressant and taken to its maximum dose gradually. You will have to be patient about the response as most of the anti-depressants are slow to act. You can discuss regarding increasing the dose of one of the anti-depressants together with reviewing the need for other anti-depressants with your psychiatrist.

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
