If you feel like your depression or anxiety or for whatever reason it was started, is no longer an issue you can certainly stop it. However, you may need guidance from your psychiatrist regarding how to do so to avoid withdrawal which some patients face. A gradual taper down in the dosage is recommended. If you need to consult us for a second opinion kindly do so with the help and guidance of the Lybrate staff.

Accept that it is going to be difficult and you will not come out of it in an overnight - depression & anxiety are very poorly researched areas in the field of medicine. There is no definitive cure to this illness. Apart from that, depression is under-estimated. You will usually find people telling you to "not be depressed" or "ease down a bit" or "stay happy" when in reality it is very difficult, or rather, impossible to "not be depressed" or "to ease down" or "be happy" there is a very little chance that medication will be able to help you in which case you're lucky, else you'll have to resort to treating it all by yourself. Follow a healthy diet - eat healthy and do not under-estimate the power of unhealthy food. Unhealthy food plays an important role in depression. You don't see the effects of smoking right away but a few years down the line you realize you're in deep trouble and so it is with unhealthy eating practices. Following a healthy diet is extremely important and also a difficult one but it pays off. Exercise daily: ride a bicycle or go swimming or play tennis or jog or practice yoga; there are thousand other things you can do to keep yourself fit. Building muscles by gymming is not the only way to be physically fit. Regular exercise has been proven to reduce stress, ward off anxiety and feelings of depression, boost self-esteem and last but not the lease is it improves sleep. Keep healthy relationships: you do not want to hang around people who make you feel less worthy. Stay away, no matter what, stay away from negative people. There is a saying "you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with" which is absolutely true. Hang out with people who inspire you, who accept you for who you are, who are good at heart. Stay away from alcohol and drugs: alcohol and drugs are nothing but depressants. They'll make you feel better till you're intoxicated but once the alcohol/drug is out of your body you're going to feel more depressed than before and there's a pretty good chance that you'll want to resort to alcohol/drugs again to wash that feeling out. I have been addicted to alcohol and believe me when I tell you, it is the worst thing that can happen to you. Create a long term goal and break it into tiny milestones: the saying "the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Sums it all up. Work towards your goal with thorough dedication. Books: you're on quora and I don't think you need to be told about the benefits of reading. Persistence: without persistence you'll never ever achieve any goals in life. Things go wrong all the time but you should not give up no matter what. As happens with depression something as trivial as missing out your morning workout will make you feel extremely bad. Things will be worse when things go really bad like having a break up or getting into an altercation with your best friend or getting fired, you'll have to be damn strong. Do not give up. It is going to be very difficult but keep trying until you succeed.

Hello. It would be helpful if you could specify since how long you have been taking these medicines and also since how long have you used alcohol. Erection problems could be psychogenic, or it could be the side effect of a medicine or long term use of alcohol. If it is causing hindrance in your sexual life, I suggest you consult a psychiatrist.

If you have visited a psychiatrist and they have prescribed these medications you should have belief in the doctor. They have the best in mind for you and your loved one. If you have questions regarding treatment you can talk to the psychiatrist who prescribed the medication. I hope this helps. Take care and I hope your mother gets well soon.

This does not belong to addiction category of medicines, but this has to be taken with regular review from a psychiatrist and needs to be closely followed up. It is not an over the counter medicine as many think and take. Good luck.

Paroxrtine is a very good choice of medicine. Ssri medicines does cause nausea and gastric symptoms for few weeks while starting. Take it along with pantoprazole for few weeks. After few weeks, gastic symptoms will subside on its own in most of the cases.

Can a feeding mother take nexito 5, will it affect baby's health. I feed my 6 months baby 2 hour after taking this medicine at night, is it okay or do I need to stop taking this med. One more thing can a schizophrenic who is breastfeed mom take treatment as the medicine must be heavy for the baby.

Hi. Yes you can take nexito 5 mg maintaining 2 hour gap after breastfeeding the baby. You can further consult your psychiatrist for how much time you need to take the medications. Part 2. Schizophrenic patients need to take their medications regularly whether breastfeeding baby or not. Same rule maintaining 2 hour gap between drug dose and breastfeeding. Important thing here is which medications are safe in breastfeeding. For that you must ask the same from your consulting psychiatrist.

My psychiatrist has prescribed me nexito forte 10s, to take every night after meal for 20 days. It does not make me feel sleepy or does’t put me to sleep, but the next day I feel very sleepy and very drowsy. I feel something is off here or maybe i’m not being given the right medication.

It is due to the medication only, which produces day time grogginess. If it persists the medication needs to be changed, discuss with your psychiatrist and get the needful done. Good luck.
