Hello
Generalised anxiety disorder is very common and can be treated with the right intervention.
Your doctor has given you good medications. Infact all doctors have the best interest of the patient in their heart.

Dear Sanjeev,
No medicine is safe for all the persons taking it. We have to weigh the benefit vs safety.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, delayed ejaculation is often a side effect of ssri or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like fluoxetine (flunil) and sertraline (zosert). Change of medications will solve his problem. Do not stop the medications suddenly, it requires tapering down gradually and gradual changeover to other group. Consult psychiatrist for this process.
