I am a physically disabled person. My late father looked after me and our family from day one. Due to some unusual circumstances, I am feeling very irritable, tensed, stressed and anxious.

Which is quite helping me to reduce my tension and anxiety. Could you please tell me if this medicine is suitable for me to reduce my anxiety level? I am 49 years old. My brother tells everyone in our area that I am a pagal, is it right? Please help! thanking you, amit ganguly.

As your anxiety symptoms have increased currently, then you should contact your doctor as you might require some alteration in your current dose. Since you are on the lowest dose of the medication, there is a possibility that some life stressor has triggered the current anxiety symptoms, and the dose was not adequate to control the symptoms associated with the stressor. Just so you know, having some anxiety to a significant life stressor is a normal phenomenon, but if the anxiety starts to hamper the daily functioning and that too for longer period of time, then it would be considered as an illness.

You should take an opinion of gastroenterologist as losing 10 kg in 2 years when the weight is just 35 kg is very unusual. Simultaneously, in her case a short admission can be considered for detailed evaluation and to see what medication suits her well as she is having very low weight and suicidal thoughts. She needs a multidisciplinary treatment.

I'm truly sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing. Managing depression and anxiety, especially during pregnancy, can be incredibly difficult. It's important to remember that i'm not a doctor, but I can provide some general information. Nexito, known generically as escitalopram, is an antidepressant medication typically used to treat depression and anxiety. The safety of using escitalopram during pregnancy isn't completely clear-cut. There's some evidence suggesting that taking ssris (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, the class of drugs nexito belongs to) during pregnancy might pose certain risks to the fetus, such as premature birth, low birth weight, or withdrawal symptoms in the newborn. However, untreated depression and anxiety during pregnancy can also have risks both for you and the developing fetus. Here are some key points to consider: risks of untreated depression and anxiety: untreated mental health conditions can lead to poor nutrition, inadequate prenatal care, increased substance use, and other risky behaviors. They can also negatively affect fetal development and lead to complications such as low birth weight or premature birth. Medication during pregnancy: the decision to use medication like nexito during pregnancy is complex. It involves weighing the potential risks of the medication to the fetus against the risks of untreated depression and anxiety to both the mother and the fetus. Consultation with health professionals: it's crucial to work closely with your psychiatrist and obstetrician. They can help balance these risks and provide guidance tailored to your specific situation. Your psychiatrist's suggestion to use nexito has likely taken into consideration your personal health history and current condition. Monitoring and support: regular monitoring during pregnancy is important when taking any medication. This can help manage any potential side effects and ensure the well-being of both you and your baby. Alternative treatments: besides medication, other treatments for depression and anxiety, such as therapy, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes, might be recommended. Discuss these options with your healthcare providers. Family history and genetics: your concern about the impact of medication on your baby, given your first child's condition, is understandable. Discuss this aspect with your healthcare provider for a more informed decision. Informed decision making: ultimately, the decision whether to take medication during pregnancy should be made collaboratively, taking into account your personal situation, the severity of your symptoms, and the potential risks and benefits. Please ensure that any decision you make is in close consultation with your healthcare providers. They are best equipped to provide advice that takes into account your full medical history and current health status.

I was on nexito plus for 6 months (march to september). Later, on doctor's advice I tapered it to 1/2 the pill. For quitting entirely the doctor suggested me to take one nexito 5 mg for 30 days and clonazepam 0.25 mg for 15 days and quit. I'm afraid this withdrawal schedule is too rapid. How do I quit it properly.

It's good that you're thinking carefully about how to manage your medication, particularly when it comes to tapering off drugs like nexito plus (which usually contains escitalopram, an antidepressant, and clonazepam, a benzodiazepine). Here are some general principles for safely discontinuing medications like these: gradual reduction: tapering off medication, particularly antidepressants and benzodiazepines, should generally be done gradually. This helps to minimize withdrawal symptoms. The specific rate of tapering can vary depending on factors like how long you've been taking the medication, the dosage, your individual response to medication reduction, and any withdrawal symptoms you might experience. Individualized plan: the tapering schedule should be individualized based on your unique situation. What's too rapid for one person might be okay for another. It's important that this plan is developed in collaboration with your healthcare provider. Monitoring symptoms: while tapering off medications, it's crucial to monitor for any withdrawal symptoms. These can include anxiety, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and physical symptoms. If severe withdrawal symptoms occur, it's often a sign that the tapering is happening too quickly. Consulting your doctor: given your concerns about the rapidity of the tapering schedule, it's important to discuss this with your doctor. They can adjust the tapering schedule based on your feedback and symptoms. It's not uncommon for tapering plans to be adjusted as you go along. Supportive therapies: in addition to medication, therapies such as counseling or cognitive-behavioral therapy can be beneficial, especially during the tapering process. They can provide additional support and help manage any underlying issues that the medication was treating. Lifestyle factors: engaging in healthy lifestyle practices such as regular exercise, good nutrition, adequate sleep, and stress management can also support the process of tapering off medication. Remember, the process of tapering off medication can vary greatly from person to person. It's important to do it under the guidance of your healthcare provider, who can offer the most appropriate advice for your specific circumstances. Don't hesitate to reach out to them with your concerns and questions.

Untreated anxiety is among the causes for suicide. Many a times due to stigma, poor treatment compliance, inadequate treatment, lack of awareness on the illness by patient as well as family leads to outcome like this. Consult an astute psychiatrist and take proper, regular treatment, life in more than 90% who seek treatment is achieved at near normal state. Good luck.
