Anxiety started from january 2018. Initially doctor prescribed me fluvoxamine 100 and amisulpride 50. Later as anxiety increased and dpdr and obsessive thoughts started so my doctor increased dose with clomipramine, fluvoxamine amisulpride and etizolam. Later etijolam was stopped but in winter 2018 I started feeling low so in feb 2019 bupropion was added. Currently I am on clomipramine 75 mg (twice, fluvoxamine 100 mg (twice), amisulpride 50 mg (night) and bupron xl 300 (morning). I am feeling little bit low in this winter again (i had no psychiatric problem before january 2018) and my memory has not improved to its initial level (like it was before january 2018. I struggle in recalling the work done in last 3 to 5 days. Though major event of past I remember but recent past, its some time difficult to recall. What should I do?

Your prescription is perfectly tailored to your symptoms, I suggest please maintain regular intake, as neurochemicals take time to come back to optimal levels, there is no quick treatment in psychiatry, besides you describe more than one diagnosis which again will take its own time to recover. As far is memory is concerned it will too be better over time. You can discuss the possibility of starting some multivitamin with your treating psychiatrist for it. Rest be assured you seem to be in good hands.

Working with a clinical psychologist can help to reduce your anxiety medication through relaxation, mindfulness and cbt. Side by side you can undergo neuropsychological testing to check if the deficits are actually there or are just due to preoccupation/temporary effects of medication. Cognitive retraining activities will work to reduce memory issues.
