Medicines for depression
Earlier I used to take rexipra 10 mg and etizola beta 0.25 as prescribed by my doctor but from past months I am getting repetitive intrusive thoughts continuously,so I visited my doctor yesterday and I have told him my symptoms and all the problems and he changed the medicine to rexipra 20 mg and have told me to continue etizola beta 0.25 and also prescribed one vitamin tablet along with them.But,however I am worry that why he hasn't changed the medication but have only changed the composition i.e from 10mg to 20 mg.So,does it is good to believe in him or else I should consult another doctor?

This repetitive intrusive thoughts, if it is of the same theme it might be OCD for that rexipra is effective to an extent at moderate to high doses but there are more effective anti depressants
I would suggest u wait for 2 weeks watch for response if there is no adequate response consult a psychiatrist

Although any ssribcan be used for obsessive thoughts but i woukd have preferred adding a drug seperately
I think it would be better to take a second opinion
