Dear lybrate-user,
daxid does not affect the eye pressure. Have faith in your doctors. Ocd affects the quality of your life. It is your choice to live with ocd or continue to take daxid.

My doctor is changing me from sertraline 200 mg to escitalopram 20 mg, because of ongoing side effects on sertraline. This is the cross taper schedule: for 6-7 days: reduce from 200 mg to 150 mg sertraline further 6-7 days: reduce from 150 mg to 100 mg sertraline further 6-7 days: reduce from 100 mg sertraline to 50 mg sertraline and add 5 mg escitalopram further 6-7 days: reduce 50 mg sertraline to 25 mg sertraline, increase escitalopram to 10 mg. To finish: stop sertraline altogether, continue with 20 mg escitalopram. Does this cross taper seem okay? I am trying to reduce the risk of sertraline withdrawal. I also have a fear of vomiting. Is this schedule likely to make me vomit? Or should I avoid most withdrawal? I am on my second week now, so I am now on 100 mg sertraline. What side effects can be expected when going from 150 mg-100 mg sertraline? Thanks for the help and information.

Hi lybrate-user! I understand you are faced with a lot of confusion at the moment. It may be in your best interest to follow the regimen prescribed by your psychiatrist and openly discuss your fear of withdrawal and induction of vomiting with him.

There is nothing called better or inferior. All medications are tailored to an individual depending on the symptoms, response and tolerability. Over the Counter self medication and self medication by googling is dangerous to one's body and mind. Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine and can cause severe dependence and side effects on a longer run. Escitalopram ad Sertraline are SSRI's and need to be prescribed carefully adjusting/ titrating dosage by a psychiatrist. Hope this info helps.

Yes, you can very well take them in the morning. But take them under your psychiatrist guidance with regular review. Good luck.

Daxid is an antidepressant. You should take only if a Dr. Has prescribed. If you are taking on your own, please stop, as you may not be taking for right reasons and in right dosage. If you are having a feeling of continuous sadness, then you should try natural methods first. Do 30 mins exercise daily and eat more natural foos like fruits, green veggies, nuts & coconut water. You will feel better.

For anxiety and panic attacks, along with medications try meeting a psychologist. They can teach you techniques that could help you long term in managing your anxiety symptoms. Psycho education is essential to handle any issue. There are some therapies that have worked very well with anxiety and panic attacks.

Slightly it might. But with regular diet and physical activity you can have normal weight. Even people not on medications are sedentary these days and put on weight, so from your side see the efforts you have made.
