I am having OCD since 10 years , presently I am taking Escitalopram 5 mg but as I feel well I think I can manage intrusive thoughts , fear and doubts . But as soon as I stop I again get trapped into the same cycle. What to do?

My doctor suggested to me, desvenlafaxine 50mg at night and paroxitine at morning. Shall i take both at night? Any side effects occur?

I have encountered a racing heart beat, my belly feels tight, feeling choking and feeling like I am going to die around two month. Then for one month I did not face any issues, after that I am facing same situation suddenly. I go to emergency in my near by hospital and they suggest me to take indrenal la 20 for 14 days. After that day, I am not feeling well, more depressed. After 5 days of that incident I went to a cardiologist and he suggested me to do ecg, echo, abpm and some blood test. Where I found that my cholesterol was little high 117 and my abpm results is: 24-hour Average BP: 127/78 mm Hg Daytime Average BP: 133/84 mm Hg Nighttime Average BP: 113/66 mm Hg And Daytime systolic BP >135 mm Hg in 32.4% of readings. Daytime diastolic BP >85 mm Hg in 38.2% of reading. My cardiologist says everything is normal, I have no issues as my ecg and echo are normal. But From last one month I feel very depressed, I could not sleep properly, I couldn't focus on my studies and daily work.

I am a student preparing for a stenography exam scheduled for 29th June. While writing dictation, I experience mental blocks, loss of focus, and performance anxiety. My hand sometimes freezes, and I make mistakes in outlines due to nervousness. I am looking for a light, short-term solution (preferably non-addictive and without causing drowsiness) that can help me stay calm and focused during practice and the actual exam. I have already tried herbal options like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, but they have not been very effective. Kindly suggest a suitable medicine or supplement that can help with focus and anxiety related to exam pressure. Sleep is normal otherwise, and I do not have any other medical issues."
