Obsace 50Mg Tablet Er Health Feed

I have been on antidepressants for past 11 years for anxiety disorder. I was on escitalopram for last 3 years and it stopped working. My current psychiatrist started me on buspirone, clomipramine, fluvoxamine and clonazepam. I got some improvement and reached the doses buspirone 10 mg 1-0-1, fluvoxamine 100 mg 1-0-1, clomipramine 75 mg 0-0-1 and clonazepam 0.25 1-0-1 I was having intolerable side effects and I missed one dose of clomipramine and problems started again. I told my psychiatrist that only escitalopram and duloxine had worked for me. Then he stopped buspirone and clomipramine and reduced fluvoxamine dose to 100 mg once and started escitalopram at 20 mg directly and duloxetine 20 mg two times and clonazepam 0.25 3 times. I am having a weird mood and not able to control my negative thoughts after that switch. Was it a correct method to stop 2 medicines abruptly and starting 2 other meds at high doses?

Hello Lybrate user,
happy to hear that you r taking medicine for the anxiety problem. According to the current symptoms psychiatrist started the new medicine. It will take some time to get relief from symptoms which you are currently going through. After 1 week if still you r having the same problem then need to consult with the Dr. & let him know about your current symptoms.
Thank you, have a great day and have a speedy recovery.

For depression as well as ED, you need to learn to enjoy life, laugh a lot, cheer others, relax, mix with people, stay at hill station often, talk to your spouse, spend quality time with her. Everything will be alright. In the meantime, start Ashwagandha and Brahmi capsules, one can twice a day each everyday for 3-6 M.

Dear lybrate-user. Welcome to lybrate. Ocd medications cannot reduce your iq. No misconceptions please. Ocd is treated with a combination of psychotherapy and medicine. Once you learn to manage symptoms, medicines can be stopped easily. Consult a psychologist. Take care.

Some lactation experts believe that using them may also help reduce how long it takes for your breast milk to dry up. You can also take pain relievers like ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) to help reduce weaning-related swelling and pain, and antihistamines or birth control pills to decrease your milk supply.

Hello friend, good that you are seeking a help here. I can understand your suitation. Yes, sometimes long-term usage of psychic medicine can cause such side effect. In addition stress in your mind or overthinking about past failures can cause performance anxiety and create such problems. Be positive. There are natural remedies through changes in dietary, self therapies, few lifestyle changes, special excersise routines and counseling support etc can help you overcome this problem gradually.

It is advisable to take doctor prescribed dose. If you are taking it because your symptoms are severe then it is advisable to consult doctor before taking higher dose. If you have accidentally taken increased dose once, then nothing to worry.

You seem to be on multiple antidepressants, which would have led to this stage due to resistant symptoms, poor symptom control, etc. The medications do have the propensity to cause weight gain, so you need to discuss with your treating psychiatrist on how to manage the same. Good luck.
