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.

Alcohol may be a temporary solution to many problems, however, in the long run, it does cause a lot of damage starting with liver problems and others that involve bodily functions, including digestion, metabolism, excretion, sexual problems and thought or emotional disorders. Therefore alcohol is best avoided as self-medication for many problems including social anxiety. There are many medications available to help deal with social anxiety and it would be better to take on a daily basis if you b...more

Though opinion varies, I generally do not prefer to prescribe sleeping pills for long times. There are other medicines which are better and not addictive. You should consult a psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and treatment. Your father needs treatment of anxiety and depression primarily which will improve the sleep also. Meanwhile google for sleep hygiene and practise them.

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.

It is important to ask any doubts that you have about your medication and its effect on your body to your psychiatrist. Hope this helps :)

Hi lybrate-user, I would like to say that the symptoms of slowness of movement what you have mentioned in a patient who is on Rispeidone and aripiprazole is most probably EPS (extra pyramidal Side effects) unless proved otherwise. There may be underlying or Co morbid Parkinsons disease. But in this position its difficult to diagnose as the Pt is on antipsychotic. Gabapentin has no role in decreasing antipsychotic induced slowness in movements. But its often used as a treatment of Akathesia which...more
