Medicine Not Working Properly (help )

2024-04-10 05:28:08
I have been suffering from depression for 5-6 years. Whenever I felt better, I would stop taking the medicine and when I felt worse, I would start the medicine again. After that I decided that now I will not stop taking the medicine, I will take it regularly. I am taking regular medicine for depression since 2 years. Initially i was taking "12.5mg paroxetine" once a day. After that, that effect stopped from 12.5mg paroxetine and then after some time, same effect of medicine i got from 20mg paroxetine. After sometime 20mg paroxetine also dont work for me Then Doctor increased the dose to 25mg.  Now 25 mg are not giving the desired effect. I don't understand why my dose is increasing. "Paroxetine limit per day 50mg" please help me

They are not self medication pills. You need to consult a psychiatrist and take regularly as per their advise. Good luck

The probable reason is poor compliance or abrupt treatment discontinuation. It happens that once a medicine works well it might not work as before when it starts again or in the next depressive episode. So it is always wise to stay compliant to treatment to prevent a drug becoming ineffective.
