It is completely okay to take both if it advised by a psychiatrist, if not then consult a psychiatrist before taking the combination, to ensure if you actually needs both.

Both the medications are likely prescribed to you because of possible prominent anxiety symptoms. But of the two medications, Paroxetine is a SSRI, which will be your primary molecule to curb the anxiety symptoms. Placida is an add on molecule to give quick relief to your symptoms.
Both can be taken, no issues.
Word of caution : don’t go for self dosing
Don’t stop the medication abruptly
May precipitate withdrawal symptoms.
Next Steps
If on treatment symptoms persist, you may consult a psychiatrist for dose adjustments.

Hi. It depends on the severity of your symptoms. If your anxiety is milder, then I would suggest that you take only Pexep Cr at first.
Next Steps
If it is persistent you may add placida on to it

You can take both if it is prescribed by the doctor. Dosage adjustments will be done by the treating doctor according to the need.
