Nope. For long term control of sleep, you need to be evaluated for the reason for insomnia and treated properly. Etizola is for short term only, and doesn't change anything. Consult a nearby psychiatrist.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Etizola beta 0.5 tablet is to be taken empty stomach. Still need to confirm with doctor.

Etizolam works better for anxiety with less effects on sleep while lorazepam also works for anxiety with good effect on sleep as well. I hope this answers your concerns.

Dear Sir, there are around 20 or more antidepressants available. Ssris is one commonly used class of antidepressants. If you are having problems with prothiaden and etizola, please discuss alternative medications with your consulting doctor. He or she can guide you best depending on your symptoms and multiple other factors.
Hope this helps.

Hi.
Please consult with your doctor before stopping the medication. The dosage should be tapered according to your symptoms. Also consult with a psychologist to help you manage your symptoms without medicines in the long run. It will help prevent relapse and maintain your wellbeing.

Etilaam is safe for short term treatment of anxiety, for longer term, you will be needing ssri, snri or tca group of anxiety reducing medications, since etilaam is a benzodiazepine and preferable be avoided for longer run. Other medications seem fine. All the best.
