Health Q&A
Big Problem

Doctor, I was taking Flunil 40 mg for ocd under a psychiatrist for about 1.2 years. Later, I was also taking Escitalopram 5 mg under a psychiatrist, and my symptoms reduced but were not completely controlled. So I started taking Fludac 60 mg on my own because Flunil 60 mg was not available. After switching from Escitalopram 5 mg to Fludac 60 mg, I am not experiencing any noticeable side effects and I am feeling better. Please guide me whether it is okay to continue this dose or if any adjustment is needed. I currently do not have money for a consultation, so I would be very grateful if you could please advise me out of humanity.

Big Problem

The doctor has written 1-0-1 for taking Fludac 60 mg for OCD, but I feel lazy during the daytime because of the medicine’s side effects. Will there be any problem if I take it after 9 PM at night?

Childhood trauma,Anxiety,Procrastination

I do not know how to describe my situation but I have been anxious a lot lately, getting offended on small things, past incidents are coming to my mind and then I am getting angry about those things. I often notice myself day dreaming imagining a perfect world. I am facing lower confidence levels and procrastinating my priorities a lot, I am worried a lot, overthinking all the time, appears to me that my mind is never at rest. I scroll phone a lot and cannot find motivation to complete my tasks. I feel exhausted. My childhood was not very nice and those incidents still scares me and I am going on defensive mode. I need advice to cope up with my situation.

Concern Regarding Withdrawal and Duratio

Hello Doctor. I was prescribed Sertraline 50 mg and Clonazepam 0.25 mg for anxiety and panic symptoms. I am worried about dependency and withdrawal, especially with Clonazepam. If I take these medicines as prescribed, is withdrawal common? How are these medicines usually tapered safely, and what side effects should I realistically expect in the first few weeks?
