Dear Khalid, 
Remaining sad, inactive and irritable are the symptoms of Depression. Rexipra in appropriate dose for more than 3 weeks, will be the treatment. Please think whether you had these symptoms before taking rexipra. Continue rexipra 15 mg for 2 weeks and get back to the doctor for further assessment and dose change.

Don't take either and consult with a psychiatrist and seek an alternative which makes you not sad or irritable. But these medications take 4 weeks to act and not instantly. Good luck.

Sir, first of all, I would like to know for how many days you are taking rexipra 10 mg and 15 mg tablets, as these medications take time to show maximum action and also some of the side effects would reduce after use for adequate duration. In your case I have following recommendations: 1. Discuss the dose related issue with your psychiatrist. A change of drug or adequate dosing for adequate duration can solve the issue. 2. Psychotherapy in form of cbt might help you to overcome behavioural issues, as use of antidepressants with cbt has shown good results in research.
