Health Q&A
Anxiety, low mood and fear of arguments

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 (palpitations). 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.
