You are first of fooling around with medications: if the doctor has prescribed it then it was for a good reason. If you have attacks in the future the doctor will certainly give you more. Panic attacks are fear based, and you will tend to exaggerate the response to the stimulus. What happened when these attacks started may have some bearing on your state. The other possibility is that your constitution may have undergone a bit of change favoring the negative side. If you have been on prolonged s...more

My doctor prescribed me paroxetine 60 mg, bupropion 300 mg. I was also prescribed clonazepam 0.5 three times a day for anxiety. I have been taking clonazepam for 5-6 months but it has develop tolerance and we need to change it. Is there any promising benzo which has least side effects such as mental fatigue. Tried alprazolam and toficalm already in past. Thank you.

Better do not go for benzo at all, they are harmful on longer run. Consult your psychiatrist and seek alternatives. All the best.

Health Query

What is the likelihood of extreme withdrawals from clonazepam? I was prescribed for anxiety while I started zoloft. I was taking 0.25 mg clonazepam once a day fr a month, then 0.125 mg once a day for about 3 months. For 6 weeks I have taken 0.125-0.0625 mg every second day. Would this actually be having any effect on my body? And am I safe to stop now? Or would further tapering be recommended.

Dear lybrate-user
so far what you have done is enough to stop it. I don't think that this does will have any adverse effects, and even if you experience anything you can take last dose on sos basis. What you are taking now is pediatric dose that is unlikely to cause any discontinuation effect.

It is not advisable or safe to take medicines like clonazepam without it being specifically prescribed by your doctor or without their supervision. Also, it is not a treatment for anxiety, merely something that provides relief from symptoms for a few hours. If you have anxiety, I would advise meeting a medical practitioner and starting proper treatment.

It may last for 1 - 2 weeks. I will recommend that you reduce or alter any medication only under supervision of your psychiatrist. And consult your psychiatrist if you experience any symptoms after altering the medicine.

Hey there, I have been taking petril beta 20 (propranolol 20 mg + clonazepam 0.25 mg) for 6 months for anxiety and panic disorder.

So please provide me a tapering schedule, I will discuss this with my psychiatrist but I just want a second opinion.

In the first place, it should not have been continued even for 6 months. It should have been replaced by other medicine preferably from ssri group which are more safe in long term and don't carry risk of dependence. Anyway, now first you should take 2 different pills containing propranolol and clonazepam. Propranolol is commonly available in the name of capsule betacap tr / tab. Inderal la which you need to take 40 mg once daily after breakfast. Other you need to get is tab clonazepam 0.25 mg wh...more

Asked for male, 38 years old from Kolkata

Doc has prescribed bupron xl 150 after breakfast. After that am suffering from sleeplessness. I am also taking melatonin 3. I have some anxiety issues. Now doc is saying to take clonazepam .25 instead of melatonin. I am just asking, can anyone take clonazepam .25 & melatonin 3/5 together (altonil plus) or not?

Dr. Pankaj Mahal

Melatonin helps in sleep initiation and clonazepam helps in all phases of sleep (initiation, maintenance and duration of sleep). Hence, if required then you can take both. However, you can consider of improving your sleep hygiene, if it is deranged.

Hello! I have been suffering from severe major depression and anxiety since 3 years. I changed many doctors and medicines but to no avail. The doctor I am seeing currently diagnosed me with treatment resistant depression and bipolar effective disorder a year ago, even though I do not experience the manic highs or even hypomania. He put me through ect 22 times which only marginally improved my situation, before ect I used to cry and yell all day. I have extreme fatigue, low motivation, anger irritation, fear, loss of appetite, weight gain due to medications, tremors, loss of confidence, crying spells, blurred vision and extreme weakness due to depression. I am terrified of going outside and blurred vision adds to the fear. Doctors have tried almost all medications: venlafaxine, escitalopram, olanzapine, quetiapine, lithium, valproic acid, paroxetine, clomipramine, and anxiety meds like xanax, rivotril, amylene etc. Right now doctor has put me on clonazepam and prothiaden since 3 weeks, but I have seen no improvement. I took lithium and valproic acid for about 8 months and they only added to my fatigue and weight gain so doctor stopped them. I really need help in terms of medication as I am still hoping there might be one which could take me out of this extreme pain. I am terrified that if I do not get the right help or if there is not a cure, I will have to live like this for my entire life, in bed and barely able to think, eat, move or understand anything. I am 36 years of age, female and from pakistan. I have heard that indian doctors are good. Please help me out of this and suggest any medication and save my life. Thanking you!

Dear Sara,
Your doctor at Pakistan is equally good and she/he has been trying good treatments like antidepressants, mood stabilisers and ECT. Please continue with her/him. Telemedicine in India has jurisdiction in the same country only. It is difficult for you to undergo treatment in India because certain basic tablets only can be prescribed through telemedicine. Intractable depression needs lot of experimental tablets as add on.

The rashes can be the side effect of odomos and you check it by stopping it and watching for the rashes

No it is safe but you have to take this medication under supervision of a Psychiatrist.
