The medications you have been given need fine tuing, though lonazep is good for anxiety, it cannot be given on a longer run as it a benzodiazepine and needs to be given for shorter course.

Consult any psychiatrist either online or in person and get helped for rationale medication choice which is tolerabe as well as does not produce side effects w...more

I hate to say this, but a proper solution always comes after a proper evaluation. In your case, we need to confirm that your diagnosis is indeed depression. Next we have to determine if the headache is a part of depression, some other medical illness or a side effect of escitalopram. Based on this analysis, further management can be suggested. It is possible to treat depression based on scientifically proven and established methods without the use of medicines as well. Take care!

You are too young. But due to certain reasons if you are on antidepressants you have to take some extra care of yourself. I donã¢â€â™t know what are the circumstances under which you are taking medicines, I want to know the whole details about your disorder. But I must say donã¢â...more

Usually first episode of depression treated for 6-9 months and if second episode occurs then that is treated for minimum of 2 years. However if third episode occurs then treatment continues for many years and that depends on many factors like - past history, family history, severity, treatment response, current living situations, family support etc. I recommend you to discuss about your concern with a experienced psychiatrist nearby or online so that thorough evaluation is done and accordingly r...more

From the medicines prescribed you could be suffering from depressive disorder or anxiety disorder or both together.
If that is so, your doctor may want you to continue taking it even beyond the time of recovery at least for 6 months. That could be a total of 9 months or an year of treatment.
However if you have a type of depression that recurs frequently and if the illness responds to the medication your doctor may want you continue...more

Take a professional counselling or psychologist help to openly discuss about your thoughts and emotions which could be the root cause behind your anxiety and depression. Th...more
