Hi,
The symptoms you describe- depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and somatic focus (like attention on the head)- are treatable. The combination of Relixol (Etizolam + Escitalopram) and Cilapam Forte (Clonazepam + Escitalopram) is commonly prescribed for initial symptom relief.
Yes, tapering off is possible- but only once symptoms are stable for a few months. Recovery time varies by person, but typically:
a) Antidepressants (Escitalopram) may be required for 6–12 months or longer depending on severity and recurrence.
b) Benzodiazepines (Clonazepam or Etizolam) are ideally tapered within 8–12 weeks, under medical supervision.
Next Steps
➡️ Continue medications as advised for now.
➡️ Follow up regularly with your psychiatrist to reassess need, dose, and plan a taper gradually.
➡️ Psychological support (like CBT or ERP for obsessive thoughts) can improve outcomes and reduce medication dependence.

Health Tips
Do not attempt to stop them on your own-sudden discontinuation, especially of benzodiazepines, can worsen symptoms or cause withdrawal.
