Switching anxiety pills
I was on Peroxitine 12.5 for 7 months for anxiety disorder treatment. But I did not find any improvement so I considered another Psychiatrist and he gave me Venlafaxine 37.5... He said I can safely stop peroxitinie and continue with Venlafaxine.
Is that ok to stop Peroxitine all of a sudden?
Just being anxious so wanted to check...
Also he said I need to be on around 2-3 years of anxiety medicines.. So I guess there is no permanent cure for anxiety disorder? As long as we take tabs we get a bit of relief with so many side effects.. That's all. It's hard to live with anxiety. I already consultated 5 Psychiatrists. No hopes of left now. It's hard to live each day with so many things going around...

Your psychiatrist has correctly told. You have to try various anxiety medications to find the right one working for you. 2-3 years may be for your solace. There is no fixed duration. Good luck

Yes, as it is least dose of Paroxetine, so it can be stopped and you can be taken on Venlafaxine.
No, there is permanent cure for your anxiety
But for that you need to be regular on your medicines for prescribed time period and along with it take proper counselling therapies too.
