Definitely you can continue paroxetine /25 of other brand,* main content, dose should be same,* brands may differ
Clonazepam is for SOS basis, not for regular use
If you continue paroxetine, gradually you will not need propranolol, gradually tapered
In short, on long run, main medication paroxetine will be continued only,( Clonazepam is for SOS basis, rapid control of anxiety in stressful conditions)
* Do not get disappointed that you have to continue medications for a long time, in today's time every one is dealing with some illness & taking medication or even admitted
* So in my opinion, must keep follow up visits with your psychiatrist, continue relaxation exercises with medications so that dependency on Clonazepam will reduce,

As you are on the above medications since past 8 years I advise you to consult your treating doctor regarding dose tapering as reducing on own might cause relapse of symptoms

1) Both Panazep and Depixon have Paroxetine, so a switch to the latter is okay. However, Depixon does not have clonazepam
2) Epitril (Clonazepam) can be taken sos. But, long term use of this can lead to dependence.
3) Continue betacap( propranolol),as this also helps keep your anxiety in check.
Next Steps
You can discuss with your psychiatrist about your concerns so that an individualised plan can be formed.
Health Tips
