Consuming alcohol or medicine is a form of an addiction.
If you are looking for to leave your addiction then it will not be possible to do it on your own.
You need to consult a Psychiatrist and a Clinical Psychologist for it. Psychiatrist will prescribe you medications to get rid of your addiction and clinical psychologist will conduct therapy sessions for the same.
Combination of both medication and therapy works best in your condition.

Surprising the doctor changed from stalopam to rivotril, stalopam is better medicine and can be taken for a longer time, as you rightly told it has to be taken for few months, consult an astute psychiatrist. All the best.

Dear Lybrate user
the symptoms you are experiencing are suggestive of anxiety spectrum. However, self medication with clonazepam doesn't seem to be a wise option. With proper history and examination, a psychiatrist will be better able to help you considering a similar family history in your mother.
Hope this helps!

Dear lybrate-user,
Its can be very upsetting if you have anxiety and depression, I can understand how you maybe feeling. Anxiety and depression medication are helpful in healing you cope but you would need support in the form of counselling and therapy. I would even suggest clinical hypnotherapy for your condition. Its important to get to the core issue, where tgis began and why. Pls try to practise deep breathing and praṇayam till then. I Hope you feel better soon.

Dear Deepak,
Amitriptyline takes 2-3 weeks to start its action. It works only at a particular dose that will be built every 2-3 weeks by your doctor. If you still don't respond, the doctor will shift to more effective drug. You don't need clonazepam at this young age of 21 years.

Dear Sunil,
It may not be a withdrawal of melzap after just 5 days. Did you have this kind of restless feeling before taking melzap? If so, you need to consult your doctor again to diagnose and treat your anxiety issues. It might be due to drug side effect, your medical issues and also psycho-social issues. Let it be diagnosed properly.

I'm seeing a psychiatrist right now. He said that the treatment for my generalized anxiety is 1 year. I take Paroxetine (Xet 20 mg) once daily and Rivotril (Clonazepam) 1/8 at night. He decrease the dose of my rivotril, because I take it 1/4 at night to 1/8, he said that in my next appointment, he will not prescribed rivotril anymore. My concerned is that I know it will take quiet sometime to recover, but I have worries everyday, like I don't want to hear loud noises and bang on the door (Im in my auntie's house right now and they don't know my issues, especially my grandma, I don't want her to worry) I feel like, is it for me? Are they angry? But I can brush it off in my head. Just a little beat of breathing or listening to music. But my worries so far is that if I will take the board exam this March 2019? I feel like my mind is not yet ready, but I don't want to disappoint my grandma & parents, they know that I will take the pharmacy board examination this March but as of the moment, I don't want too. Right now, I don't read books and didn't start to review :(I need advice. Thank you.

The treatment you taking is adequate. You should tell your family about your problem. That will help you cope up with the situation in a better way. Also along with the meds I would Want you to start doing some regular exercise or meditation in any form.
