It has to be taken only with regular follow up from a psychiatrist, it is not over the counter medication. Good luck.

Hi ! You can continue for a particular period of time as suggested by your treating Psychiatrist. Nexito plus contains Escitalopram and Clonazepam. The Clonazepam part can be habit forming if taken for a very prolonged period.

Hi,
The clonazepam part of nexito plus can be habit forming in some people. But the risks are greatly reduced if you follow doses as advised by your doctor, and not self experiment with doses.
If there are no side effects and if improvement in your symptoms noted , it can be continued for longer time.
