Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In case of anxiety or depressive disorder, you need antidepressant as well as benzodiazepine. You should carry on with antidepressant. It would help to control depressive and anxiety symptoms. In case, you want to use herbal product, you can. There is nothing harm in it. There is no interaction between drug and herbal product. You can also try some relaxation exercise that would help to control anxiety symptoms. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
