Anxiety issues

2017-10-20 12:41:46
Am 31 years old female. 5 years before I suffered from major depression. DOCTOR recommended me Nexito 20mg that time. I was fine in few months. Then doctor asked me to slowly lowered the dose to nexito 10mg, then to 5mg and then stop. I was 90% recovered after 3 years. But I have not stopped the medication till now. I just break the nexito tablet 10mg into 5 equal parts and then take one part each day.But some where I still feel little bit anxiety and confusion in mind. It's not 100% recovered.

You are taking underdose of nexito. If you are trying to stop the medicine you will experience some of its withdrawal symptoms such as sleeplessness, anxiety, feeling of something not good. These symptoms might bother you for 7 to 10 days. But if you don't focus on them they will gradually subside. Do not get apprehensive that you are going to stop medicine.
Next Steps
If you are unable to stop it you can start taking 5 mg of nexito.
