Dear Abhrajit,
Stalopam plus contains escitalopram and clonazepam. Stop stalopam plus and take stalopam 10 mg for 2-3 weeks. If okay, take stalopam 5 mg for another 2-3 weeks and stop. Remember stopping clonazepam will be more difficult than stopping escitalopram. All the best in your PG

Dear lybrate-user,
rexipra 10 mg is escitalopram 10 mg. It is available. The same medicine in different brand names are also available freely in the market. But it is better to consult your psychiatrist regularly and adjust the dose or to stop it. It may not be a tablet for your whole life.

Nexito (escitalopram) is fine, though try cipralex which is the best form of escitalopram and stop petril. Consult psychiatrist. All the best.

Hello - nexito (escitalopram) is an effective medication for anxiety and you are on 10 mgs which is an effective dose. If you are feeling better continue on the same medication
- there is no need to change to nexito plus at this stage. Nexito plus contains escitalopram and clonazepam. Whilst escitalopram can be continued long term, clonazepam is meant only for short term use. So it is not recommended at this stage for you
- continue nexito for atleast 6 months after you get better. Then ...more

Flunil (Fluoxetine) and Nexito (Escitalopram) both belong to class of SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor).

It is for making you calm and have good sleep. To take it for lifetime is not a wise move. For lifelong health you should start systematic Homeopathic Treatment with Qualified Homoeopath.
Every medicine has its own effects and side effects. Nexito 5 is not any exception. Choose Homoeopathic Treatment. You can Call me also for further guidelines.

The active ingredient in Nexito is Escitalopram. The actual duration of continuation depends on many other factors apart from diagnosis. Some of these factors are: duration of symptoms, severity, current psychosocial functioning, drug tolerability, addictions, etc. While minimum duration is 6 months at least, your Psychiatrist will be able to guide you about your treatment plan.
Wishing you a healthy & happy life.
