Hello dear,
Mental illnesses can be a result of multiple factors including biological, emotional, social and personal. In order to treat these illnesses, its important to identify the underlying cause and then treat accordingly using medicine and Psychotherapy. Usually it takes a week or two before the treatment results in improvement.
Hi.. using a medication for long-term depends on the benefits vs risks for the patient. If you have maintained well with medicines and it has helped you to regain your life then it's advisable to continue the medicines under the guidance of a psychiatrist. Escitalopram is a considerably safe medicine. However you may need tapering and stopping of clonazepam.
It is a safe medicine for long term use, however such long term use without consulting a doctor should not be the practice. You should consult your psychiatrist. He/she may stop this medicine if you are well for such a long duration. You may not need this medicine anymore. You can take an online consultation too.
