Hi!
Since you have stopped medications, it's better to schedule an appointment with the doctor so that you will be thorough evaluated for the distress and accordingly, medications will be prescribed based on patient profile.
Restarting medications on own is usually discouraged.
Also ,paroxetinr is safe .However, clonazepam has some amount of addiction potential when taken for longer duration.
