Hi Sir, I am 15 years old boy. I am suffering from severe anxiety and panic attacks. Actually 2 years before my exam was going to held and I was in my study room planning to learn the sylabbus but suddenly a thought came that what will happen if I fail in the exam. I hadn't learned the sylabbus, there was only 5 days left for exam. So I was so much anxious and frightened. Actually I was feeling severe anxiety that day. Such type of severe anxiety I hadn't experienced before. Anxiety was so much much high. After severe anxiety my appetite lost, I got fever and I couldn't sleep at night. Days were passing and my condition was getting worse. From that day I feel severe anxiety and fear on a regular basis. I lost my happiness totally. I was struggling hard to be in normal state since I was feeling severe anxiety. After 1.4 year I consult a neuropsychiatric and he prescribed me flunil ip - 40 (fluoxetine) and risdone mt 0.5 (risperidone) and after that I feel a bit relief but not completely. However, I feel anxiety regularly and panic attacks. Please suggest me the treatment. Should I have take any therapy like cbt or psychotherapy to get rid of this problem completely. I don't feel happiness.

Yes you can combine cbt with medications, the improvement will be much better. Try it, but go for proper cbt specialist, as many do not now what cbt is and claim they can do and start giving advices, which is not cbt.

Dear Sunil,
I hope that you have tried these antidepressants in maximum dose and also for at least 3-6 weeks duration. Treatment resistant depression has its own flow chart of add ons like thyroxine, samE, 5 HT and varied therapies. At times review of diagnosis, may be necessary. What antidepressant you are taking now? What is the dose? Since how long, you are on this dose?

Dear lybrate user, 'antipsychotic' is an umbrella term which covers a large number of symptoms that are common in many psychiatric problems. Hence, doctors prescribe these drugs. Just like salt can be used for many food items, a particular medicine can be used to treat many medical conditions. Stick to your doctor's prescription without any hesitation.
