Dear Gagan,
i hope you are talking about Inosert that is Sertraline 100 mg tablets. It will not slow down your brain. On the other hand, it will lift the depression and make your brain to focus better.

Sizopin and serlift are medication for different purpose to combine with ativan and other drugs is not a good idea. I am not sure why were all these drugs combined in the first place. Please be careful in combining all these drugs.

Dear Saranya,
Serlift takes 2-3 weeks to start its action. Please note that it works at a certain dose. If 25 mg does not work in 3 weeks, you need to go back to the doctor so that she/he can increase the dose.

Good morning!
yes, you can stop serlift if your doctor has advised you to do so since it is a very small dose you will not have any side effects of withdrawal. I hope this helps. If you continue to have concerns or questions you can book a second consultation opinion appointment online and the Lybrate staff will help you with the same.
Take care and have a lovely day!

It's not like that you can't take both medication simultaneously. But there should be some reason to combine medications. If you have optimum dose of one drug than only you can go for combination therapy for same problem.

Weight gain can happen using psychiatric medicines. You should be eating carefully avoiding processed foods like bread, biscuits, ice creams, less sugar, oil & salt. Avoid too much milk and milk products. Combine fruits, vegetables, salads etc with your regular food.
