My mother is taking szetalo plus 5 tablet for 2 years and she was going well with it. But a few days back she missed her day time doses. Now she is regularly taking it both times but we are facing some anxiety in her behaviour. She always seems to be in hurry while talking or taking any action. She is also facing problem with szetalo plus 5 in the daytime as she says it makes her sleepy.

Thanks for consulting here.
As Dr Sumati Says plz follow. Instead of Szetalo plus 5 use only Szetalo 5 in morning and continue night dose as before. If anxiety continue day time increase dose to 10 mg. Start regular Yoga and mild exercise session for her.

Szetalo plus is combination of antidepressant escitalopram and hypnotic medicine clonazepam. It's the clonazepam which is causing the daytime drowsiness. About the recent worsening and anxiety symptoms can be an independent exacerbation. Hence you can consult your primary Psychiatrist for dose adjustment and also morning dose of clonazepam can be stopped to deal with day-time drowsiness
