I am 44 years old and suffering from IBS. I was under depression and thus prescribed chlordiazepoxide and paroxetine for the same, which l was taking for an year. However my mother suffered a heart attack and she died in front of me. Thus l developed an intense fear of death. I consulted another psychiatrist who prescribed me paroxetine. However l suffered badly due to the withdrawal symptoms of chlordiazepoxide like trembling in fear, racing heart, dry mouth. After that l consulted another psychiatrist who has put me on dose of Cretrazalin 2-2-0 in morning, Sodium Valporate 100 mg and mretazipane 15 mg at night. Now the doctor says l will have to take the medicines for 2 years compulsory and since l had a recurrence it can be indefinitely also. Kindly advise whether this is the right line of treatment so that after two years noon tells me that you had wrong Medicines or I become dependent on them. I am badly worried. Please advise and help. Also let me know if hypnosis is the solution for the same.
