I understand your concerns about medication safety, especially when taking multiple medications. Here's some general information about the medications you mentioned:

Fluanxol (Flupentixol): This is an antipsychotic medication often used for schizophrenia or other similar conditions. It can also be used in lower doses for depression.

Spenzo (Etizolam): This is a medication that is used for anxiety. It belongs to a class of drugs similar to benzodiazepines and has sedative and mu...more

I am not sure who got you hooked onto clonazepam, even though it reduces anxiety, it shouldn't be used on a longer run. On a longer run they will shrink your brain, resulting in early onset dementia, personality changes, memory changes, even withdrawal seizures. Kindly consult a psychiatrist, get your anxiety evaluated, and he will gradually wane you off it and give pills for primary anxiety like ssri, snri or tca for longer run. All the best.

Clonafit 0.25 contains clonazepam, if you are feeling wel using this medicine, than continue, if any side effects are observed, then immediately report to the doctor,
clonafit is okay to use but habit forming tendencies are found on long term uses, it should be taken for 3-4 months only.

Dear Yasha,
Both clonazepam and etizolam are NOT medicines for OCD. They belong to benzodiazepine group of anxiolytics. You don't gain weight by these medicines, if you maintain the usual diet and exercise schedule.

No sir, it is not at all adviseable to try this medication nor to self-medicate/regulate without doctor's approval. If you are so keen on coming off of this medication and want to improve your health, I suggest that you go for counseling in tandem with he medicines. If you combined counseling with the medication you can expect the best outcomes for your anxiety disorder. However, you must be episode-free for at least three years before the doctor will decide on weaning you off of the medication ...more

You are first of fooling around with medications: if the doctor has prescribed it then it was for a good reason. If you have attacks in the future the doctor will certainly give you more. Panic attacks are fear based, and you will tend to exaggerate the response to the stimulus. What happened when these attacks started may have some bearing on your state. The other possibility is that your constitution may have undergone a bit of change favoring the negative side. If you have been on prolonged s...more

Dear lybrate-user
so far what you have done is enough to stop it. I don't think that this does will have any adverse effects, and even if you experience anything you can take last dose on sos basis. What you are taking now is pediatric dose that is unlikely to cause any discontinuation effect.

It is not advisable or safe to take medicines like clonazepam without it being specifically prescribed by your doctor or without their supervision. Also, it is not a treatment for anxiety, merely something that provides relief from symptoms for a few hours. If you have anxiety, I would advise meeting a medical practitioner and starting proper treatment.

It may last for 1 - 2 weeks. I will recommend that you reduce or alter any medication only under supervision of your psychiatrist. And consult your psychiatrist if you experience any symptoms after altering the medicine.
