I would suggest you meet a good audiologist for tinnitus retraining therapy or if you also have a hearing loss, a good ric type hearing aid with zen program should cancel out the tinnitus.

Dear Samunder,
You can definitely try therapy for 5-6 months along with these medicines. Then, when you are able to deal with your negative automatic thoughts, you can challenge yourself by reducing and stopping these medicines.

Dear Srishti,
Omez 20 is not an antidepressant. But it will help in reducing some of the anxiety symptoms associated with depression, like acidity, gastritis, bloating, indigestion, etc.

Both pexep ie paroxetine and serta ie sertraline are both ssri and are usually not combined together. So consult your psychiatrist and get an ideal combination for your fear and anxiety related to covid. This has become very common these days and you will recover soon. Good luck.

I am a vegetarian since 1995. During this time I got shocked due the prediction of death written in a yearly horoscope by a famous indian astrologer. Since that day I fail very very ill. I couldnt walk alone. Also could not sleep, eat & do anything. Till the year 2000 I didn't know what has happened to me. I was always depressed till that time. So on December 2000 I courage to go to a psychiatric (neuro) and only after that day I could know that what I was suffering is depression. So from that day to till today I am taking serlift 100 mg. Through which I began to feel good & confident. Though I feel good good sometime It gets relapsed time to time. So my doctor advised me to check my thyroid level. I did as I was advised & from that day my doctor prescribed me thyronorm sometime 50 mg and sometime 75 mg with respect to thyroid report. Now its been almost 18 years that I am taking these medicines. Now my question is (1) is it safe for me to take these drugs for life-time as told me by my doctor. (2) Is there no way I could be treated safely as I sometime feel taking these medicine for lifetime is not good.(3) How regularly I have to consult the doctors, as I usually visit him in a year, as it takes me full day to go there and come back which is far away from my locality. There isno psychiatric doctors till some months ago. Now I saw one. So kindly advised me what am I to do to overcome this problem which I sometime feel gets relapsed again. Right now I am 48 years age. I have a wife who is a govt nurse, 2 daughters 13 years and 17 years and a mom of 78 years at home. I work in a government department as clerk therefore I request here as what am I supposed to do to overcome this problem. As I know whenever I tried to discontinue this medicine I used to fall sick again. I used to think a lot but not intensionally but it comes itself automatically. Please advise me and help that how to correct myself.

You can consult the doctor where your wife is working. It can be done once in 3 - 6 months or if needed in between.
You have another problem - it may be recurrent major depressive disorder or dysthymia. Both are life long disorders needing life long treatment. Please ask the same M...more

Hello I had been going through a lot from past two years, I do not know whats wrong but I had sudden palpitations, the first thing when I wake up is in a state of panic and anxiety. I have to rush to bathroom to defecate, I consulted a doctor and he suggested me its chemical imbalance and he put me on serta 50 & nexito forte twice daily, added nortriptyline 25 mg once daily, then added modalert 200 to keep me awake during the day, its crazy I am 30, I have two kids and a job, I had not been myself since taking these medications and its not improved, I sulked in and now I have fear resting deep in me regarding losing my job, death what will happen after death, will I have a heart attack or cancer or I do not know. When I see someone casually my first thought without me thinking is about his death, how will his family respond to loss of a near one. If its depression, health anxiety, panic attacks, stress or any other mental disorder it should had been improved by now. I smoke from a long time and its not so easy to quit every time I visit I am asked to quit smoking, but will that change my condition. Is there anyone out there who could offer me a helping hand not as a doctor but as friend someone who really cares that I am the bread earner for my family. I do not want to take these medications forever and ever, live with a confused, dizzy state of mind and weight gain affecting my work life balance. I am on sertraline 50 twice a day escitalopram 20 mg & clonazepam 1 mg - twice a day nortriptyline - 25 mg once day flupentixol - once a day zolfresh 10 - once daily. Modafinil -200 mg once daily.

Dear lybrate user. I can understand. As you are aware, depression is a neuro chemical disorder and therefore the treatment should be targeted towards enhancing or reducing those chemicals biologically. But these medicines are used for maintaining the balance. In that sense, with the present medicines, you will have to continue forever. I suggest online cognitive therapy. Take care.
