2020-06-15 06:09:01
Hi, I have disscussed with one of the doctor online almost 9 months ago. As per discussion ahe advised me to take prodep20mg and I am taking it since then on daily basis. I have tried to quit that but I am unable to quite as I am still feeling the same. Several time I took overdose to get slip or to think nothing. I am a overthinker.I have problem with sleeping as well.If I take this madicine on daily basis I can sleep for maxium 4 hours that not also deep sleep or continuous sleep. I still cry and overthink all the time. Sometimes I feel this medication it's not working at all.Please suggest.

Please re- consult a psychiatrist.  It is not advisable to self medicate when it comes to psychiatric medicines. There's a protocol to be followed to stop/ switch medicines.  If Prodep is not helping something else will be given.

Single consultation 9 months ago and you are continuing it since then?A sure shot plan for a failed treatment. I am sure your treating Psychiatrist must have advised you to reconsult him/her after a specified time. This treatment needs to be done under an expert guidance of a Psychiatrist.
Next Steps
contact a Psychiatrist asap for re evaluation and medication optimization
