Health Q&A
Seeking help for irritability, anxiety

I am currently feeling very irritable, short-tempered, and restless. My mind does not stay calm or peaceful. I am unable to feel happy or relaxed, and often get a feeling of wanting to cry. I feel mentally exhausted. Additionally, I have a strong fear of arguments or conflicts. When someone else argues or raises their voice, my heart starts pounding. I constantly feel that it would be much better if no one argues with me. This fear is also affecting me badly.

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?

Is it available or not

I posted once asking about Guanfacine availability in India, and many doctors commented that it is available in India. So I went to my psychiatrist at Sion Government Hospital, Mumbai, but my psychiatrist said Guanfacine ER is not available in India. Now I am confused: Is Guanfacine ER actually available in India or not? Is it unavailable only in government hospitals? Can government hospital psychiatrists prescribe it? Do I need to visit a private psychiatrist/private clinic to get it prescribed? Would appreciate guidance from psychiatrists or anyone who has personally used/prescribed Guanfacine ER in India.
