Clonazepam and escitalopram
I have been given 0.25 mg clonazepam once at night and escitalopram 10 mg once at day for 5 days, for anxiety following a rabies exposure ( finger had peeled skin around fingernail and touched cat, took 3 doses of arv on 3rd day after exposure).
I am also feeling slight choking sensation in neck (sometimes/ once every 2 -3 days).
If i start taking these meds, will all this go away , also will I face withdrawal after 5 days.

The medicines you have been given are good ,but you should give it some time to act.The duration of the treatment will depend on the severity of your anxiety and how anxious you are basically as a person.If you are basically an anxious person review with your Psychiatrist and continue medicines as per his advice
