Hi,
Usually the medications you mentioned should be discontinued slowly under the guidance of a doctor. When we stop them abruptly we may get some symptoms of anxiety which can cause the things you mentioned such as feelings of weakness, indigestion etc. It is not mentioned in your question but I feel that every time you stop these medicines you may be worrying about whether you'll be fine or not and that may be leading to aggravation of your problems.

Dear Lybrate-User,
escitalopram and clomipramine can cause ed. You have to compromise between ocd/depression and ed. Which is better for your quality of life. Are you married? Are you planning to have a child? If so and if you are having benefit with these drugs, you can try sildenafil for sexual intercourse. Please discuss with the same doctor treating ocd. No need to consult sexologist unless referred.

Alprazolam on a longer run is dangerous and causes serious side effects. It is good to switch to escitalopram and clonazepam, but some develop heaviness as you said. You can discuss with your psychiatrist and change to better medications, which control anxiety well without heavy head. All the best.

Are you taking these with regular psychiatrist review, or on your own. As these come under medications which require regular review for side effects, resistance and other issues. Kindly consult a nearby psychiatrist and get it revised. Clonazepam 1 mg for long can produce severe long term issues like brain shrinkage, cognitive deficits, personality changes etc.

Dear Benazir,
All these antidepressants take 2-3 weeks to start action on your mood. They lift the mood at a particular dose. Doctors always start with low dose so that you can tolerate them better. After 2-3 weeks you need to consult the doctor again. No need to go to different doctor. Most of the anxiety drugs will be stopped by the time your mood improves. Depending on the diagnosis, improvement, side effects, psychosocial factors, the duration of treatment may be 6 months or life long. D...more
