Hi
I appreciate that you reach out with your concern
It sounds like you're experiencing some distressing symptoms despite being on medication.
Dry throat, choking sensations, and numbness in the extremities can indeed be associated with anxiety, but it's essential to consider all potential factors, including medication side effects. Pexep CR (paroxetine) and Clonotril (clonazepam) are commonly prescribed for anxiety disorders, but they can have side effects, including dry mouth and numbness. It's crucial to discuss your concerns with your prescribing doctor.
Regarding the safety of long-term antidepressant use, while these medications can be effective and safe for many individuals, it's essential to monitor for any adverse effects or changes in health. Regular check-ups with your doctor can help assess your overall well-being and address any concerns about potential risks.
If you're worried about the possibility of developing other diseases, your doctor can provide guidance based on your specific health profile and any potential risk factors.
Remember, open communication with your healthcare provider is key to ensuring you receive the best possible care.
