Betacap 40 MG Capsule TR used for

Hey there, I have been taking petril beta 20 (propranolol 20 mg + clonazepam 0.25 mg) for 6 months for anxiety and panic disorder. But I am afraid of developing dependence on clonazepam and I want to switch to propranolol only. So please provide me a tapering schedule, I will discuss this with my psychiatrist but I just want a second opinion.

In the first place, it should not have been continued even for 6 months. It should have been replaced by other medicine preferably from ssri group which are more safe in long term and don't carry risk of dependence. Anyway, now first you should take 2 different pills containing propranolol and clonazepam. Propranolol is commonly available in the name of capsule betacap tr / tab. Inderal la which you need to take 40 mg once daily after breakfast. Other you need to get is tab clonazepam 0.25 mg which you should take 1/2 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the evening for 1 week, in the next week stop morning clonazepam, in the week next to it you should make evening clonazepam half and stop taking clonazepam after taking half tablet in the evening for a week. Discuss with your psychiatrist to consider starting a medicine from ssri group before starting tapering of clonazepam.

Hello you are already on 80 mg fluoxetine. There is no need for buproprion. Sometimes excessoive dosage can lead to switch to mania. Better go for some relaxation exercises and activity scheduling. Thanks.

Hi Mr. lybrate-user you may be having a benzodiazepine addiction which is why you find it so difficult to stop the lorazepam. Your ultimate goal should be to stop lorazepam. Start reducing it to 1/2 then 1/4 then 1/8 over two months. It’s very important to stop using benzodiazepines so as to maintain your cognition and memory in the long term. Try deep breathing exercises and deep muscle relaxation techniques to help along the way. Hope this helps

I had been diagnosed with ocd. I take fluvoxin cr 300 mg, venlor xr 150 mg, oleanz 5 mg and betacap tr 40 mg daily. I had become quite lethargic and was also suffering with stuffed nose, so I stopped taking oleanz. After taking oleanz I felt that my sleep had been reduced a lot. And hence I again started taking oleanz 5 mg at the prescribed time (i also want to mention that I took melatonin 3 mg daily at night in the gap period). Now it has been 3 days since I started taking oleanz again, I am feeling dizzy. Should I keep taking oleanz or stop taking it?

If it is not suitable for you then kindly go for natural remedies with advanced psychological therapies. Only medication with never help to get rid of ocd in any way. So try therapies like lfms, mbcbt, eft, erp, bach medicine for better result. Consult a good psychologist or psychotherapist in your area. Otherwise you may get help from me.

It seems like you are being treated for anxiety and depression. You don't mention how long you have been on this medication. You need to check on your prenatal history and early childhood for influencing factors. You must combine medication with therapy. This is extremely important for your anxiety and depression. I think that you have an anger-related depression. Anyway life is full of problems as a norm. Any attempts to escape will never help: you must learn to face these problems every day with good success. The counselor will help you in this regard. I also strongly believe that every crisis offers an opportunity for change, if you seek it and grab the opportunity. Please meet with a counselor and work on your emotions, particularly anger and fear. Exercise is very important but you have to build on it developmentally. I suggest you do the opposite of what this depression makes you feel like doing (actually, not doing): you will need to fight this condition. You must become active; stay upright during the daylight time; meet people; never sleep during the day, wake up by 6 am every day, play some active games, especially contact games, do physical exercises, talk to people and join some social clubs, attend yoga classes etc. Watch sitcoms on tv or comedies and cheer yourself up. Go for excursions in groups, for outings, camps, conferences, and religious conventions. Get a pet dog and spend time training it, exercising it and relating to it. Expose yourself to some sunlight every day, at least 30 minutes but not in the scorching heat. Whatever happens, please incorporate these three important adaptations in your life: always be responsible, be respectful, and be functional. If you did these three, lots of things will go well in life. Please pray and have faith in god to alleviate your sufferings. Don’t wait for others to help. Use your own motivation, which might be at its lowest, but persevere and win this battle. Above all to be really happy, you need to live in love and for love. Learn all about emotions and how to handle them and that will get you out of the anxiety and depression rather easily and quickly. A counselor is there only to facilitate you, all the hard work must come from you, and your cooperation with that person is very critical for your success. Be positive every day and learn to be content with what you have. Do some left brain exercises: it is the happy brain. Here are a few suggestions: shut your left nostril and breathe, move your eyes from right to left and vice versa for at least half a minute at a time, and do callisthenic exercises with some form of counting, regularly. Whatever happens please cooperate with the therapy and do not discontinue until the condition is completely resolved. Depending on when these symptoms started, you can either wait for some time or meet with the doctor again and report your headache and insomnia. The doctor may tweak the medicine or dosage.

You will need a thorough evaluation. Both nexito plus and oleanz are not the best medications for panic attacks. And if you have sexual dysfunction, we will have to assess if there it is related to your anxiety or something else. So, better you consult a psychiatrist for detailed evaluation. Stop oleanz .it will not help you in any way .as per your explanation, it has no role to play. But, we need more details to tell what is best for you. So please consult at the earliest.
