Dear lybrate-user,
There is no fixed course for Zosert. It depends on your diagnosis, improvement and side effects.
Please continue 50 mg for another 10 days and consult your doctor again. She/he may increase the dose, if necessary. May not stop tablets.

Usually it takes 2-3 weeks to get adapted to medicine. Don't stop it all at once, you can have adverse effects more.

A sudden stoppage of the medication will put you at risk of adverse effects of withdrawal. These medications should be gradually withdrawn over a period of 6 months - 1 year. Rest assured, most of the major effects of these medications (including loss of libido) only lasts so long as the medication levels are sufficiently high in your body. Once it is cleared by the liver and kidneys, you are good to go. But the withdrawal course of the medication should be planned only after an one-to-one consu...more

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. The regimen of psychiatric medication is very essential. It maybe helpful to go along with their recommendation. If you see any side effects, complete the dosage as prescribed and then follow up with your doctor. Sometimes side effects come from your b...more

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.

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.
