Dear mam
Serta is a medicine and can be used safely during breast feeding. As far as Lopez is concerned, we need to weigh the risks and benefit. It is secreted in breast milk and can cause drowsiness in baby, so if you do need to take it try to discuss this with your psychiatrist and take the minimum possible dose.

Please do not stop the medicine on ...more

Insomnia describes a general difficulty falling or staying asleep. It's one of the most common sleep disorders. After just one night of short sleep, individuals experience the effects of sleep deprivation the following day, which include difficulty focusing, irritability, impulsivity, and lack of balance. Let's discuss your problem in detail for better advice and medication plan.

Yes most certainly. Please continue as prescribed.
These medicines should never be discontinued without a thorough examination and investigation by a psychiatrist who has been regularly seeing you in person.
Further, these medicines will be tapered down slowly and then stopped. (if the doctor thinks it's okay to stop in the first place). Please be patient.

Lorazepam on a shorter course few weeks is good drug, on a longer run is very harmful. It can produce early dementia, withdrawal seizures, personality changes, brain shrinkage. But you cannot stop suddenly. Consult a psychiatrist online or in person, it s dose has to be tapered and substitutes given.

There is nothing called better or inferior. All medications are tailored to an individual depending on the symptoms, response and tolerability. Over the Counter self medication and self medication by googling is dangerous to one's body and mind. Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine and can cause severe dependence and side effects on a longer run. Escitalopram ad Sertraline are SSRI's and need to be prescribed carefully adjusting/ titrating dosage by a psychiatrist. Hope this info helps.
