Hello doctor ,
I had issues of anxiety and depression last year and I used to feeling tightness in left and right side of my for head (feeling in head similar to when we travel to mountain ) I was prescribed etilaam0.25 mg twice and pexcep cr 12.5 and after few days it was fine but this year in April I got covid and had lot of stress as my whole family had covid and I was terrified and took lots of stress ...so I started the medicine again as I was having negative thoughts ...and it was fine
Now when I miss the dose specifically night dose pexcep cr 12.5 I feel bit of dizzy in the afternoon and evening ...
What is the reason ? Any advice
Just to let you know since the last year March I have been in complete isolation and I have no work since I was in tourism field ...

Dear mam, dizziness is a withdrawl symptom. With drawl symptoms happen when u suddenly stop a medicine. Since u r currently going through stress u can continue pexcep cr 12.5. Once u start going to work we can slowly taper the medications and u can stop them.
