Anxiety is when these anxious feelings don't go away – when they're ongoing and happen without any particular reason or cause. It’s a serious condition that makes it hard to cope with daily life. Everyone feels anxious from time to time, but for someone experiencing anxiety, these feelings aren't easily controlled.
For the treatment go for counseling. You can take homeopathic medicine which has proven results in anxiety. These medicines are without any side-effects.
Regards.

YOu can stop it as you have done and Stalopam Plus Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Clonazepam and escitalopram which have anxiety-lowering and mood-enhancing effects. Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine (BZD) which increases the action of GABA, a chemical messenger that suppresses the abnormal activity of the nerve cells in the brain. Escitalopram is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) which increases the levels of serotonin, a chemical messenger that improves mood.

You need to take medication as per your doctor's recommendation. Do not discontinue, alter, modify or change it in any way. Take it for the prescribed period of time. Premature termination of treatment can lead to relapse or worsening of symptoms. It becomes more difficult to treat after that.

Dear Abhrajit,
Since you are on the lowest dose of 5 mg Escitalopram, you need not taper. You can stop without tapering. But, 3 months may be too early to stop in case of major depressive disorder. i don't know the diagnosis for which stalopam mini was prescribed.

I'm on medication currently for anxiety and depression i'm taking etilaam 0.25 and depranex-10 along with richer cr for iron deficiency. I want to know that someday i'm fully ok and sometimes I don't know why I feel anxious like if I go outside after taking etilaam then a falling or sinking type of sensation happens suddenly and after the medication gets completely mixed into my bloodstream I start to feel calm. Couldn't getting it thoroughly why is it happening so also because my whole body blood report tests are also totally normal beside iron and vitamin d deficiency. I've also spoke to my psychiatrist about this she told me to relax .and also advised to cut down slowly my etilaam pills by reducing 25% after 10 days. But then also this sudden bad feeling bothers me .is it normal doctors and how long it'd take me to get fully recovered from it.

Hi lybrate-user,
you need to discuss with your psychiatrist to further optimize your classic anti-anxiety or antidepressant drugs (escitalopram dose can be further build up to 20 mg per day and if needed another medicine can be added to augment effect of escitalopram) before tapering off and stopping etizolam. It's happening because your anxiety and depression is not yet completely remitted. Whole body blood reports have to be normal before calling it anxiety disorder. Vitamin d has to be ta...more

No, Stalopam should not be stopped. Instead you can use a Multivitamin tablet or syrup and emeset for the nausea. Sudden stoppage is Stalopam is not recommended. If you found my answer helpful, please leave a like/ thanks. Thank you.

The adjustment phase when starting a new medication can vary from person to person. Generally, side effects like drowsiness and changes in mood may occur in the initial weeks as your body adapts to the medication. For most people, these side effects tend to lessen over time.
In the case of stalopam (escitalopram), which is an ssri (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) commonly prescribed for anxiety and panic disorders, side effects often improve within the first few weeks. However, every...more
