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.

As you are improving significantly. Your benzodiazepine dose was stopped and changed to escitalopram only drug to prevent dependence to benzodiazepine. Initial mild sleep disturbances may settle in a week. If not your consultant will review and plan accordingly. This can happen in many patients so don’t worry too much.
Good luck.

Dear Abhrajit,
Since you are on the lowest dose of 5 mg Escitalopram, you need not taper. You can stop without tapering. But, 3 months may be too early to stop in case of major depressive disorder. i don't know the diagnosis for which stalopam mini was prescribed.

Hello, since you are on treatment for anxiety, escitalopram is one of the best medicine to help you overcome your symptoms. Though it may cause decreased sex drive or/and libido as a side effect, you don't have to worry because it is reversible on stopping or changing the medicine. You should discuss it with your doctor who will definitely change or moderate the medicine depending on the treatment response.

For management of depression, the first choice of medicine is the group ssri that includes nexito. So I advise nexito as the better option.

No, Stalopam should not be stopped. Instead you can use a Multivitamin tablet or syrup and emeset for the nausea. Sudden stoppage is Stalopam is not recommended. If you found my answer helpful, please leave a like/ thanks. Thank you.
