About anxiety and mood disorder.
I suffered from GAD with mild depression. I went to doctor in January and he prescribed me Nexito Forte 20 ( Escitalopram and Clonezepam) and I continued until last week. Now he prescribed me Nexito 20 only. And my anxiety and depression is back . Is it withdrawal from Clonezepam or what I don't understand.
Please doctor prescibe/suggest me something good.

It is due to the withdrawal of clonazepam. It needs to be gradually tapered down from 0.5mg and can also be substituted with lighter benzos and then withdrawn, but around 1/4th may not be amendable and symptoms might recur for which there are alternate strategies. Discuss with your treating psychiatrist or get a second opinion from an astute psychiatrist either in person or online. Good luck
