Rivotril 0.5 MG Tablet Health Feed

I'm seeing a psychiatrist right now. He said that the treatment for my generalized anxiety is 1 year. I take Paroxetine (Xet 20 mg) once daily and Rivotril (Clonazepam) 1/8 at night. He decrease the dose of my rivotril, because I take it 1/4 at night to 1/8, he said that in my next appointment, he will not prescribed rivotril anymore. My concerned is that I know it will take quiet sometime to recover, but I have worries everyday, like I don't want to hear loud noises and bang on the door (Im in my auntie's house right now and they don't know my issues, especially my grandma, I don't want her to worry) I feel like, is it for me? Are they angry? But I can brush it off in my head. Just a little beat of breathing or listening to music. But my worries so far is that if I will take the board exam this March 2019? I feel like my mind is not yet ready, but I don't want to disappoint my grandma & parents, they know that I will take the pharmacy board examination this March but as of the moment, I don't want too. Right now, I don't read books and didn't start to review :(I need advice. Thank you.

Dear lybrate-user,
the change in medicine often makes you uncomfortable for short duration. Gradually anxiety goes away afer 3-4 days. You can wait for few days till you feel better. Doctor might have changed medicine considering some points of your symptoms. I would not be able to solve your problem until I know all your problem in detail. If you have intolerable problem you can either consult me or other psychiatrist.
Else you can talk to your own psychiatrist for such complaints.

As per your weight in my opinion your zaptra dose needs to be optimised, kindly call your treating doctor for further advice.
And zapiz is unlikely to make you feel sad. Your baseline problem of anxiety once corrected with proper drug dosages you will feel better. Do not loose your heart you will be fine.

Can you please give more details as to four what you're talking clonazepam.
It is usually not advisable to increase dosages of such drugs like clonazepam as they have an impact on your brain. Whether you're taking it for seizures or as an anti-anxiety drug you should never alter the dose without your doctors advice.
Please consult your doctor who prescribed the medicine. If it is a single isolated incident I guess it's all right. But my sincere request and advice to you is to not repeat ...more

Dear Narendra,
Since how long you are taking Concor amlo? If it has not caused depression all these days, it my not be a side effect of Concor.
In persons suffering from hypertension and lipid disturbances (cholesterol), vascular depression is common. Apart from treating these medical illnesses, you need to be treated for depression also to improve your quality of life.
It is OK to take rivotril and fludac, if it is prescribed for you. Probably you can stop rivotril in 15 days. But n...more
