First of all, understand that everything takes its own time….. “Even time takes its own time” Find the best source that calms you and brings peace in your mind..(for me, its music sometimes.) Take a deep breath and say to yourself that you can overcome the situation whenever you feel over-exaggerated. Listen to music or read peace-giving books. Go for a walk out in the nature. Talk to your loved ones. Play your favorite sport or with pets. Stop thinking about your future (really overthinking about the future leads to negative thoughts and all soughs of depression). Stop thinking about others and also stop observing people (it affects inner peace). Make yourself your best friend and talk to yourself everyday (the greatest remedy of all). Stop worrying about the past or the future..live in your present. Get involved in improving yourself by doing meaningful activities. Stand in front of the mirror and motivate yourself. Do not believe everything you hear; do not do everything you want to do ; do not say all you know ; do not use all you have; do not buy everything you see; then, you shall always be relaxed. Don’t expect , expectations kill. Gaze at the sky (better at night). Don’t get angry easily. Be forgiving. Remember , all anger ends in repentance! Do things that requires your full concentration, because it makes you avoid and also overcome overthinking, negative thinking, etc. “Life goes on…..people have great lives when they overcome such situations.” Wishing you a happy one……!!!

There is no issue in switching between medicines especially if one doesn't work. Dose of Zolfresh ranges from 5-10mg per day, it is decided by a clinician how much to prescribe.
