Problem when Changed Nexito 10mg to 5mg
I was prescribed Nexito 10mg, continued for a month and feeling very good (side effects disappeared within a week). Thinking that I can now do away with the medication, I changed the dose from 10 mg to 5 mg - today it is the 6th day and I am having nausea and irritation again (like the first one weak, when I started 10mg first time). Should I discontinue 5mg and go back to 10mg ? How long should I continue ?
Practo user,
Do not try to fiddle with your dosages. Follow up with your psychiatrist and get evaluated. First episode of depression is treated for one whole year when it touches baseline i.e you are as good as before. dosages might have to be altered along the way as per symptoms and hence follow up with psychiatrist is required. All the best!
