Asked for male, 37 years old from Mumbai

Hi I am suffering from social anxiety disorder since long. My psychiatrist tried different combination of medicines but nothing worked notable. Finally, Bupron XL 300 and Panazep (25/0.5 mg) combination worked for me the most. I am taking this combination of these medicines since January 2015 and regularly since October 2015. Recently I gone through regular medical checkup and found elevated liver enzymes - Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), in my blood stream. I am diagnosed with no signs of Hepatitis (A/B/C), though a bit fatty liver and a small Kidney stone. I am a healthy person with no physical signs of any liver issue. I am developed little fat in my stomach in last couple of years but feel healthy. I don't drink, smoke and am pure vegetarian. I eat home-made healthy food mostly with balanced nutrition diet. I want to understand the possible causes behind my elevated liver enzymes and what could be the possible results of this situation? Is it happening due to my long-term usage of anti-anxiety medication. Do I need to stop my anti-anxiety medication? If I do so, I would be in big trouble as this will directly affect my social and working life. If this is necessary to stop medication, what are possible alternatives for me to control my social-anxiety? Please help and advise. I am worried as I have a family dependent on me only. Thanks in advance. Medicines: Bupron- Bupropion Hydrochloride Modified Release Tablets Panazep- Paroxetine Hydrochloride IP 25 mg + Clonazepam IP 0.5 mg Dosages: 1 Bupron + 1 Panazep daily in the morning with empty stomach before leaving to office Elevated Liver Enzymes: Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) as 169 U/L Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) as 113 U/L.

Hi, a psychiatrist will be able to answer your concerns with regard to the medicines aspect of your question. Liver enzymes can also be elevated when we have grade 1 fatty liver which can also happen due to lifestyle related issues such as sedentary lifestyle, stress, less exercise and weight gain. In view of your kidney stone, it would be nice to consult a general physician for the same.

Good communication skills are essential these days, at the same time you can learn and train yourself to be better at communication. Probably your assessment of your self to be not good at communication is leading to other difficulties of not being able to adjust with people around. You can contact me personally and we can work upon this life skill to help you be more confident and efficient. Good luck.

You should never stop these medicines without your doctor's advice. Although this medication can be addictive, it is good for your anxiety. If you have the strips with you, please check the expiry date and if it is still within the expiry date, you can take it. But I advise you to meet with your doctor and let her/him monitor your medication. It is also recommended that if you don't want to take the medicine for a long time, you should seek the help of a counselor from whom you will learn skills...more

Doc has prescribed bupron xl 150 after breakfast. After that am suffering from sleeplessness. I am also taking melatonin 3. I have some anxiety issues.

Melatonin helps in sleep initiation and clonazepam helps in all phases of sleep (initiation, maintenance and duration of sleep). Hence, if required then you can take both. However, you can consider of improving your sleep hygiene, if it is deranged.

Doctor prescribed bupron xl after breakfast by discontinuing panazep ls after dinner. I am just asking, can anyone take both? Bcoz panazep was controlling my anxiety and sleeplessness. But it decreased libido. Doc prescribed bupropion which is really good.

Dr. Pankaj Mahal

MBBS, MD - Psychiatry

Psychiatrist•Karnal

Each medication has different mechanism of action, so the above combination can be used, if required. Though generally we try to manage the illness with single medication as much as possible. Consult with your doctor, if he/she can adjust the dose of bupropion which might improve your anxiety, without the need of taking panazap ls.
