Since he is already on medication I suggest you talk to your treating Psychiatrist and convey his current symptoms to them. It is possible that some changes in medication dosages will help improve the symptoms. As they are familiar with his history it is always better to have a discussion with them regarding this situation.

Dear lybrate-user, clonazepam is habit forming and over time it starts to lose its efficacy. Meaning, in the beginning, a 0.25 mg dose would put you to sleep, over a period of time, you will find difficulty sleeping at same dose.

Dear Alpana,
Petril being a benzodiazepine drug, you may become dependent on it. When you are not depressed, avoid petril. If depressed, go in for antidepressant.

Dear lybrate-user
Thank you for connecting on this platform. Clonazepam is an SOS medicine after stability of transitory high intensity symptoms. And no, withdrawal does not cause death. My statement of No would act as temporary reassurance to you because Health anxiety is basically catastrophizing the least probable as most probable situation which requires mild medicine dosage but effective psychotherapy sessions. I hope you doing that, if not please get in touch with us and would be glad ...more
