I am suffering from depression and anxiety and have to deal with confusion and memory problems and feeling overwhelmed at times. My psychiatrist has prescribed dipwell 10 (escitalopram), revozip 0.25 (clonazepam) and prolol tr 40 for 3 months. But I am little bit reluctant to go for clonazepam for such a long period regarding its addictive and withdrawal nature. Earlier also I have taken clonazepam but leave it midway without consulting my doctor. Now he is telling me again to take the above mentioned medications for whole 3 months. Bt I wonder is taking clonazepam along with escitalopram for such a longer period is a good choice? Pls give your valuable suggestions.

It all depends on person's history and current condition. Many a times a patient may need clonazepam for longer period which can be withdrawn later by slow tapper down. Your treating psychiatrist is in right position to decide about it as he know details about your problem, if you have any concerns you can either discuss with him or take a second opinion from another psychiatrist by discussing your problem in detail. All the best.

We are glad to know that you are currently on medications for depression and anxiety. I believe you have spoken with your prescribing psychiatrist about the medications and subsequently have anxiety about one of them after looking them up on the internet. I would like to let you know that clonazepam is a long acting benzodiazepine anti anxiety medication which has the least amount of addictive potential and is very potent in terms of relief of anxiety symptoms. Although we cannot make any recommendations for medications on a public forum like this, we welcome you to consult us online so as to give you the suggestions regarding medications and prescription. Look forward to hearing from you.
