Dear lybrate-user. You can take one or two small peg but you need to consult psychiatrist for readjustment of medicine as there are chances of overdose. All d best!

You need to take medication as per your doctor's recommendation. Do not discontinue, alter, modify or change it in any way. Take it for the prescribed period of time. Premature termination of treatment can lead to relapse or worsening of symptoms. It becomes more difficult to treat after that.

At initial stage it is always recommended to go for advanced psychological therapies for stress and anixety like lfms, erp, eft, mb-cbt and natural medicine like bach flower medicine which will give you more enhancement in few days and totally minimize all your symptoms and help you from lifetime medication. Consult a good psychologist or psychotherapist who has these tools in your area. You may get help from me if you want.

It is safe for long term use, provided you don't self medicate and get yourself monitored, regularly by a psychiatrist. Once in three months is usually enough if all goes well. Regular blood tests and observation by psychiatrist is needed. Else you might land in some irreversible problems. Good luck.
