I am surprised about the feeling better after stopping the medication. Please meet with your doctor to understand this phenomenon. If you are lucky the medicine has done its job and you may be in a remission. There is no guarantee that the depression will not recur. So if I were you I would take all the necessary precautions to be stress-free, and be fit all the time.

Madam, eventhough you may be better as of now, relapse of depression can occur. The medicines help maintain the neurotransmitter balance in the brain. If your history of depression is long, it is advisable to keep meeting your psychiatrist regularly and continue medicine as per instructions.
Feeling right now and having a worse episode later may be catastrophic. Its just like immunisation. You can choose not to get vaccine of a certain illness by avoiding the injection but later the conseque...more

You need psychotherapy much more than medication. Also do follow a healthier lifestyle - go outdoors everyday go for a jog, if you can't jog - walk, if you can't walk - sit, if you can't go out at all - sit in an open area at home. But do spend time in natural daylight. Taka a healthy and balanced diet including plenty of water and fruits, do practice a few minutes of deep breathing daily. You deserve to live happily and peacefully. All the best.

Dear lybrate-user,
please discuss with your psychiatrist about your delayed ejaculation problem. She/he may assess you for drug induced delayed ejaculation or other causes for it. Then you will be treated appropriately.

Dear Anand,
When did you last consult your doctor? Please consult her/him to discuss your continuation of these tablets. If you still need them, he can prescribe cheaper and equally effective alternatives to these drugs. They are NOT addictive - addiction means that you go on increasing the dose, your thinking is always about how to get them, you get craving and other physical symptoms on withdrawal nad you don't perform your normal responsibilities.

The most important thing is how are you feeling? no body can be in a better position than you, who can tell, whats good for you.
So if you are feeling better without the medication, then you can continue without it. Do not be preoccupied by the feeling that you will not do good.
More than the condition your thoughts will hurt you.
So live freely, do your work, get active, do any form of exercise, do what makes you happy, drink lots of water.
Try these things and get back to me an...more

Weight gain can be a side effect of these drugs. Since I am an allopathy doctor, I do not know about alternative medicine. Besides, if weight gain is a concern for u, talk to the treating psychiatrist. He will weigh the benefits and risks of taking/not taking these medicines and will give you the right advice.
Even if you r going to continue these drugs, you can do necessary dietary changes to avoid weight gain
Cut down all refined and added sugars Eat nuts and seeds, lentils and legumes...more

Dear lybrate-user,
Zosert, Arzu and Voxidep are NOT known to cause weight gain.
There could be some other reason like no anxiety of obsessions, made you eat more. Or it could be, no repetitive actions of compulsions, made you burn less calories.
However please do not stop these medicines. Please try diet and exercise regime to reduce weight. You have consult the doctor and if necessary check the thyroid profile.

You need to consult with your doctor. Initially, you will have some adverse reactions but over time it will settle and become easier to handle. Anxiety and depression oftentimes do go together. Your problem is created by your extreme fear. You must by now know the origin of this fear. Until you deal with this fear you are going to suffer the problems you have listed quite regularly. If you are against the use of medication, then you will have to work very hard with a counselor for a long time to...more
