Dear lybrate-user, petril is a benzodiazepine. It might be habit forming and hard to stop. It may be easy to stop for you at this young age. You can also learn other methods to manage your anxiety. Before it becomes habit forming, your psychiatrist is tapering it off. Please follow up with her/him.

Hello lybrate-user,
I hope that Paroxetine (Pari CR) and clonazepam (lonazep) were taken with medical advice and guidance. Please seek a consultation with your Psychiatrist to resolve your query.

You need medications of ssri or snri group, which improve the serotonin levels in your mind (brain) and relive anxiety on a longer run. So better consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment. Good luck.

Dear lybrate-user, if he has been seeking help for his abdominal pain for many years, then I am assuming that he would have been examined and tested for any physical condition that can explain the pain. When there is no apparent physical cause, one possibility is somatoform pain disorder, when the patient experiences the symptoms but a medical explanation is lacking.

The fact that you have been taking anti anxiety drugs for more than 10 years and still suffer from migraine, anxiety and depression, means your problems are more due to your personality factors than physical causes. You seem to have a very low self esteem and are low on self confidence. You will need to go through intensive psychotherapy.

Clonafit is clonazepam which is used for short term control. On a longer run it is harmful. It can produce tolerance (reducing effect), early dementia, disinhibited behaviour, withdrawal seizures too. I am not sure how you got hooked on to it. Consult a psychiatrist, as for long term anxiety control SSRI or SNRI group of medications are indicated which are given after detailed assessment. All the best.
