I m onmedication from around 2 months, post meeting a psychatrist since i want to move outfrom present state of depression.
Doctor suggested below:
First 14 days - nexito 10 mg at night + clonotril .25
Nexito to be taken half initial 4 days and than full.
Next 14 days:
Nexito 10 mg at night + clonotril .25
Added new Vortidif 10 in morning since i was facing eriction delay due to nexito.
Next 14 days
Vortidif 10+ nexito 10 in morning + evening and in case of anxiety clonotril .25 to be taken in.
Would like to know if above medication is on right track and both medicine are prescribed simultaneously or i need to taken second opinion. I have noticed slight change in mood and m not getting very anxious now.

Both are SSRIs and are very rarely combined. If they do not work out better get a second opinion or facing any tolerability issues. Nothing wrong. Good luck

If you have been prescribed Vortidiff then nexito may be planned to be tapered as former encompasses actions of nexito as well. And if symptoms recur then any alternate augmentation strategy can be tried in place of combination strategy. For more details you may book video consultation with me on practo.

The course of treatment seems ideal, it takes 6-8 weeks for the anti depressants to act
