Everything under sun has effects+side effects.
Do not worry about side effects as they are not likely to be significant.
Do consult psychaitrist for depression or anxiety instead of just stopping treatment.
Of course consult gynecologist for pregnancy.

This medicine needs to be monitored at least every 3 months, kindly consult any astute psychiatrist online or nearby and get evaluated. Annual blood tests need to be taken, clonazepam after some time should be attempted for tapering and stopping, etc. Good luck.

Both the medications are ssri's only as two doctors give different antibiotics for infection, both will act. So take either of those as prescribed by a psychiatrist and it will take 2-6 weeks to show improvement. All the best.

I have been on antidepressants for past 11 years for anxiety disorder. I was on escitalopram for last 3 years and it stopped working. My current psychiatrist started me on buspirone, clomipramine, fluvoxamine and clonazepam. I got some improvement and reached the doses buspirone 10 mg 1-0-1, fluvoxamine 100 mg 1-0-1, clomipramine 75 mg 0-0-1 and clonazepam 0.25 1-0-1 I was having intolerable side effects and I missed one dose of clomipramine and problems started again. I told my psychiatrist that only escitalopram and duloxine had worked for me. Then he stopped buspirone and clomipramine and reduced fluvoxamine dose to 100 mg once and started escitalopram at 20 mg directly and duloxetine 20 mg two times and clonazepam 0.25 3 times. I am having a weird mood and not able to control my negative thoughts after that switch. Was it a correct method to stop 2 medicines abruptly and starting 2 other meds at high doses?

Hello Lybrate user,
happy to hear that you r taking medicine for the anxiety problem. According to the current symptoms psychiatrist started the new medicine. It will take some time to get relief from symptoms which you are currently going through. After 1 week if still you r having the same problem then need to consult with the Dr. & let him know about your current symptoms.
Thank you, have a great day and have a speedy recovery.

Go for a follow up and discuss your concerns with your psychiatrist. Usually about 60 % patients will improve with the first antidepressant. Remaining 40 % will require another antidepressant or a combination of antidepressants.

Yes these are side effects of medicines which are given to psychic patients ,which you may not be . Please do not stop abruptly , take help of doctor or slowly wean away from tablets e g taking on alternate days , for a week, then twice weekly , then once . You can have safer and Non addictive medicines , if Palpitations is the Only symptom.

Neurologist is not the right specialist to treat anxiety. He seems to have prescribed a masala of medications. Consult a psychiatrist, who is the right person to treat anxiety. Sometimes CBT needs to be combined with anxiolytics for better outcomes. All the best.
