Hello, the Lonazep was a bandaid to a bleeding deep cut. It made you feel better initially, but did not heal the cut. A continuous course (as prescribed) of S Vocita would be needed to fix the underlying issue. Please see a psychiatrist.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist.
Health Tips

Hi, your symptoms- insomnia can be primary - which happens without understandable causes or secondary - when it happens as part of another psychiatric condition like anxiety or depression. Your psychiatrist has started you on treatment for the same- and medicines like Escitalopram ( S-Vocita) need to be continued for some time for you to feel the change. As for clonazepam, it rapidly relieves sleep disturbance and anxiety symptoms but is given for a shorter time- as in your case, for 20 days.
Next Steps
You can restart your medication. If you have any side-effects due to which you discontinued the first time, please do consult a psychiatrist.
Health Tips
If you are having second thoughts about the medicines , or find your symptoms very distressing please consult a psychiatrist immediately.
