How To Get Rid Off Depression?

I'm taking paxil 20 mg, have been taking it for 13 yrs. I suffer with deep depression, confusion, headaches,memory lose,no sex drive, agitation, weight change, feeling nervous, wanting to stay at home & not wanting to socialize with anyone, & sometimes suicidal thoughts. Is there anything I can do for a change or for help. I've been afraid to admit this to my Dr so I just keep using the same thing. My x-husband wanted me on something because I had to much energy for him. So he took me to Dr. & they decided this would work. It has because I have no energy at all. But I feel I need help.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you have chronic depression and in that case, you need combination of antidepressant. You can try paxil 20mg with mirtazapine or venlafaxine with mirtazapine. This combination would help you to overcome from the depression. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
