Now you have to get expert help in tapering the Clonazepam and this is done very gradually by 5 % every week and can last several months. You could experience headache, sleeplessness, anxiety and mood changes commonly and sometimes antidepressants are prescribed to help these difficulties.

Get re-assessed. It is important that a thorough re-assessment is done followed by medication plan is made. Also to be able to understand why you didn't respond to other medication. 5 years is long and you probably will need to have long term treatment where clonazepam (lonazep) will definitely not modify the disease. So clonazepam can only be a small part of the treatment and nothing beyond. Thanks.

At 68 yrs, this medicine can be taken as long as the patient wants. The side effects are not much as compared to the benefits of taking it.

Hello
you are already on 80 mg fluoxetine. There is no need for buproprion. Sometimes excessoive dosage can lead to switch to mania. Better go for some relaxation exercises and activity scheduling. Thanks.

It seems the antidepressant dose is not adequate since all the symptoms have not remitted. You need to review with your psychiatrist explaining the same, he/ she will do the rest. Be patient the dose needs to be achieved and few weeks to pass before full recovery, if not get a 2nd opinion. All the best.

Panic attack comes mainly due to underlying anxiety disorder. You should understand your anxiety and it becomes easy for you to manage anxiety and panic attacks. Along with medicines, you need psychotherapy, meditation and breathing. Take care.

Lybrate-user,
The medications olanzapine and Clonazepam are prescribed in low doses if there is a renal impairment under the supervision of a psychiatrist and only when the benefits of taking the medications outweigh the risks. If you have anxiety and depression issues you could review how bad the symptoms are and start cognitive behaviour therapy which does not involve medications. If that helps you and your symptoms reduce then medications can be reduced and stopped by the psychiatrist.

Eating six tablets of escitalopram oxalate and clonazepam tablets is not fatal and she may be too tired and over sleep and this is a sign of her depression and suicidal tendency

Not dangerous, but must be taken under Dr. supervision.
