You have to get your antidepressants revised. As the one prescribed can produce dreams. Discuss this with your psychiatrist and get a revised prescription. You can also combine with CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) if needed. All the best.

please inform
firstly why did you begin with treatment
and since how long have you been taking it
usually psychiatric medicines should be stopped by tapering the dose , not immediately.
and please remove this thought from. your head that you are sick or addicted.
your doctor may once again begin you with the medicines and then stop them slowly tapering the dose, this way you won't have so much trouble even after stopping the medicine fully.

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.

Etilaam is safe for short term treatment of anxiety, for longer term, you will be needing ssri, snri or tca group of anxiety reducing medications, since etilaam is a benzodiazepine and preferable be avoided for longer run. Other medications seem fine. All the best.

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.
