Hi lybrate-user. In addition to medicines, addressing what's keeping you awake and making you anxious might be more helpful. I practice cbt and use various relaxation techniques to help with sleep, overthinking and anxiety. Setting a pre-bed routine and getting some physical activity can help you. Switching off your devices an hour before can be beneficial as well.

My doctor has prescribed me lonazep 0.5 mg for night so I can fall asleep. And paxidep cr 25 to take in day for my stress and anxiety. But neither do I feel sleepy effect of lonazep nor do I feel the mood altering effect of paxidep. Previously I was put on nexito forte for 20 days that didn’t help either. Does this mean I need a higher dose? I’m not feeling any of the benefits that these medicines give and it’s nearly been a month now.

I can understand what you are going through. Please consult a psychologist in your town who may take some psychological tests to analyze your issues. There is not only medication but other treatments like, relaxation, prayer, cognitive behaviour therapy and mindfulness. These are treeatments to instill positive frame of mind and hope. By positive frame of mind I mean the brain chemicals will secrete while our thoughts turn into positive. Prayer, deep breathing etc are for relaxation only. Alone medications sometimes does not yield desirable and expected results. In case of any doubt, please feel free to contact me.

As per research, a depressive episode should show improvement by minimum 9 months, provided it is treated adequately. And that is the recommended duration for taking medicines, when the patient is having depression for the first time. Regarding tapering of doses, it will be done gradually as per the patient's symptoms over a year. Please do not discontinue any psychiatric medicines suddenly or without supervision and always discuss openly with your psychiatrist in case of any side effects. It helps us in adjusting your doses accordingly.

Recovery from a psychiatric illness varies. It may take 2-8 weeks to achieve a significant amount of improvement in symptoms. To see the effects of a particular antidepressant, atleast 2-4 weeks may be required. In this particular case, the doses may be increased further to look for improvement. If there is no improvement even after that, then there would a need to change the antidepressant or try another treatment modality.

I think there are other issues like obesity along with sleep issues. Obesity can lead to something called as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (osas). It will not be benefitted by taking these above medications. Kindly consult a physician or psychiatrist and get your sleep evaluated with help of polysomnography (sleep study ). But, as a general measure I would suggest regular exercise / walking to reduce your weight and also practice sleep hygeine. Which you will get on google search. All the best.

Lonazep is clonazepam a benzo which should not be taken for such a ling time as it is addictive and causes long term side effects. Try to reduce the dose by half every 2 weeks and stop, if not possible consult a psychiatrist who will help in this regard. Good luck.

Dear lybrate-user, relax and calm down, you should not have given up pregaba in the first place as it was meant to treat your neuro-muscular pain and it takes time for it to do so. Lonazep on the other hand is a more sedating drug so if you make a habit of taking lonazep you will find much more difficult in leaving it plus it would have no effect on your neuro-muscular pain. Please therefore consult a general physician as early as possible.

Dear user I don’t know you tested after fasting or after eating, generally it’s 72-99 mg/99 (when fasting) and 140 2 hrs after eating. Fir more details you have to talk to me. When we are aware about our problem we are able to control but we have to control it in a proper way. You are too young and taking these tablets, it’s not good for your physical as well as your mental health. If you don’t want to take medication for life time then please wake up yourself, medicines are not a perfect solution for mental health, you have to work on your own, your will power, your mind and thoughts. But due to certain reasons if you are on antidepressants you have to take some extra care of yourself. I donã¢â€â™t know what are the circumstances under which you are taking medicines, I want to know the whole details about your disorder. But I must say donã¢â€â™t depend on the medicines and donã¢â€â™t make it a habit for future. You need counseling session for a better control on this disorder and medicines. Medicines are not the only solution, counseling is a best option for you so that you could better understand yourself and save yourself from the side effects of medicines. Please call and discuss your problem in detail and then iã¢â€â™ll be able to help you better. My contact no is mobile.
