It requires a serious thought so that one can plan the future line of treatment. Kindly discuss about your problems and concerns with your doctor and get an explanation as to how you can come out of dependency on medications as soon as possible. Kindly read about healthy living habits from the internet (decide to adapt a healthy lifestyle with a lot of dedication ).

Generally taking this medication for lifetime is reserved for patients having frequent depression episodes or unresolving anxiety. If its your first episode, you can try and stop it after 9-12 months. Every medication has its own set of side effects, and this medication is no different. However you can consult your psychiatrist and ask them to look for any side effects in the long term.

Dear Gurupal,
Betacap is only to reduce your heart rate, when it beats fast causing fear. So you can stop it, if you don't have palpitations. Rexipra intake will be life long in very rare case of dysthymia. Otherwise it is usually for 6-9 months, depending on the diagnosis of your depression. Please talk to your doctor about stopping rexipra. She/he will gradually reduce and stop it.

Escitalopram is not addictive.
Yoga, meditation and cognitive behavioural therapy are the other ways to treat anxiety and depression. Its upto you whether you can do all these on regular basis or not. Otherwise, there is no short cut, unfortunately. BW.

Hi, as far as your question is concerned there is no contraindication to take these two medicines together. You can take ashwagandha with a escitalopram. However it is not advisable to mix medicines from two different pathies therefore you either choose one of allopathic or ayurvedic. The treatment is available in both pathies.

Sure. You can consult any psychiatrist online or in person and get it prescribed. Escitalopram is a safe ssri. You most probable have naturally reduced serotonin, so while stopping the symptoms have relapsed. Good luck.

Try this for about 4 weeks. If it doesn’t improve your emotions, seek a second opinion from any astute psychiatrist in person or online. Good luck.

This is a side effect of long term escitalopram use. It’s much more risky to stop or reduce medication as risk of relapse of symptoms is much greater. Try the medicines your psychiatrist is giving you for these or you can go for rtms also.
