On SSRI and Anti Psychotic medication

On SSRI and Anti Psychotic medication

Hi guys bit new to here.

I recently saw my doctor who is a psychiatrist. He is aware of my mental issues and challenges that I am facing. However he recently also prescribed me anti psychotic on top of SSRI that I have been taking. These medications has made great difference to my anxiety levels and I feel much better.

However I was wondering why would someone prescribe me both SSRI and anti psychotic medication? I do have OCD as far as I can tell. Anyone else with similar experience?

Thanks

Re: On SSRI and Anti Psychotic medication

I think we all should only care what keeps us happy and going. Stressing too much about meds and all will keep us away from having good mental health. I have already gone through so much so it's not worth to stress or stay depressed any more. Does this make sense? Thanks
