I have been having a problem of anxiety and dysphoria for last 3 years. I am on paroxetine 62.5 mg and olanzapine 5 mg. I tried a lot of antidepressants but none of those worked for me. Paroxetine solves 80% of my mood problems but for the rest 20% I need an addition. Could you please suggest me a nootropil/ health supplement which can help in enhancing my mood. I have already tried the following two but they increased my anxiety. 1. Tab sulbutiamine 200 mg 2. Acetyl l-carnitine tab 500 mg. I will surely discuss it with my doctor first. Please suggest! have recently started therapy as well. Thank you. Looking forward to receiving your valuable suggestions.

We are glad to know that paroxetine has worked for you - and 80% of your symptoms are better.
