Kindly note that benzodiazepines are to be taken when necessary mainly to ensure that dependence doesn't develop. Along with sylkam, your psychiatrist may have prescribed a regular medication for you to take to overcome anxiety while you use sylkam when necessary. Please re-visit your psychiatrist and discuss in specific about the regular anti-anxiety medication such as ssris to see if the dose can be increased or if it needs to be changed.

Hi.
Please consult with your doctor before stopping the medication. The dosage should be tapered according to your symptoms. Also consult with a psychologist to help you manage your symptoms without medicines in the long run. It will help prevent relapse and maintain your wellbeing.

It is advisable to take the medicine as prescribed by your treating doctor as the treating doctor has assessed your condition face to face. But, also try considering non pharmacological means like some counseling sessions which would help you control your anxiety on long run, which would further enhance your confidence levels. Your doubts are genuine as the medicine has addiction potential when used more than 4 weeks. So,again discuss the same issue with your treating doctor.

Etilaam pro contains etizolam and propranolol, which act on the symptoms of anxiety (mild) and do not modify the cause of panic attacks, which is serotnergic imbalance in the mind (brain). So ideal treatment based on the frequency of panic attacks would be a course of ssris if they are very frequent. If they occur once in 3-6 month or so, clonazepam is ideal choice. Good luck.

Dear Yasha,
Both clonazepam and etizolam are NOT medicines for OCD. They belong to benzodiazepine group of anxiolytics. You don't gain weight by these medicines, if you maintain the usual diet and exercise schedule.
