Not curable...

Its for psychiatry I have a  weird mentall illness...I am not doing job or any kind of productive work from years.my problem is I can't able to do any productive work for some days...3 or 4 days. I have visited many psychiatry doctors and counsellor..some gave medicine for bipolar,some gave for depression. Now I am describing my problem in clear way.. I can't even count numbers 1 to 20 ..mentally at specific time like at 1 pm...for consecutive 3 days. Telling this way ..I am telling the severity of problem.its not about any number game. So can anyone tell what actually is this illness.is any psychiatry medicine is helpful?

Paroxetine

Hello Doctor, I have been taking Paroxetine CR 12.5 mg for the last 1 month for premature ejaculation, general anxiety, and mild depression. Earlier I was using Proxy CR 12.5 by Wilwin Laboratories, which was working well for me. Since that brand was not available, I switched to Paxidep CR 12.5 by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries about 4–5 days ago. After switching, I feel it is slightly less effective and I am experiencing more anxiety than before. I am also having daytime drowsiness that interferes with my daily routine, and regular stomach disturbance with loose stools. Is it okay to switch between these brands since both contain Paroxetine CR 12.5 mg? Do different brands sometimes feel less effective? Should I continue this brand for some time or try to find the previous one? Thank you.
