Pharmacist
Although Aterax is one of the older meds it is still commonly prescribed and is effective as an axiolytic and sedative. Since I'm not familiar with your medical condition I cant say if the meds are unnecesary or not. You'll have to speak to your pshychiatrist regarding the SSRI and antisphychotic - Some that are often prescribed are Effexor (SSRI/NARI) and Fluanxol (antipshycotic).
