I am a patient of anxiety disorder from last 10 years and also patient of blood pressure. For my anxiety disorder I am being treated by a neuropsychiatric from last 10 years the medications which I am taking are as follows: For Anxiety Clonotril 1 thrice a day Valprol CR 500 twice a day. Copax Sr 1 mg once a day Spenzo 0.5 twice a day Zimor 10 mg at night. For blood pressure I am taking amtas AT from last 10 years and Telma H was added last year. From last few days I am noticing that my pulse rate is between 92-100 which my doctor says is ok. Previously it used to be between 75 and 90. Also from last 2 days I am experiencing low blood sugar levels early in the morning usually it varies between 70-75 after having a cup of tea. Is all these things are happening due to the medications which I am taking or something else. This has increased my anxiety a lot all is well. My weight has also increased around 10 to 12 kgs in a year. Kindly tell. Regards Rajnish.

Thanks for writing your concern, seems like many things going with you, I try to clarify all one by one -
1.Blood sugar doesn't decrease with these medications 2.Weight may increase with Valprol CR
3. Heart rate may vary with such treatment but usually it decreases with anti anxiety medication, increasing in heart rate may be because of uncontrollable anxiety or BP problem.

Flupenthixol belongs to the family of medications known as thioxanthenes. This medication is used in the treatment of schizophrenia. It is thought to work by affecting nerve pathways in certain areas of the brain to help correct certain chemical imbalances that cause the symptoms of schizophrenia.
I do not see any reason in your case with the history you gave.

Dear Ankush,
Placida may not worsen your sweating. On the other hand it reduces anxiety, thereby sweating also.
Placida contains Flupenthixol (0.5 mg) and Melitracen (10 mg). Flupenthixol is a major tranquilizer that is not needed in social anxiety treatment. Melitracen is a weak antidepressant - not approved in India. So you can try other anxiolytics or therapy or relaxation exercise or yoga-pranayama.

It does not belong to addiction category if medicine. Rather your depression or is chronic and needs continuous treatment. Govt periodically bans combination medications, you can get the components of escitalopram and flupenthixol separately, after psychiatrist evaluation. Good luck.

Hi sir, thank you for your query.
Regarding antihypertensives and covid vaccine currently there is no evidence that it’s contraindicated. Simply put yes you may continue propranolol (ciplar) as per your current prescription. Neurokind is multivitamin mainly for immunity and nerve health. That too has no interaction with the vaccine.
Regarding anxiset (flupenthixol + melitracen), some psychiatric and psychotic medications may cause anti inflammatory reaction and at high dose can cause n...more
