You must immediately seek help from a counselor. Your fear is creating an obsession and that will gradually lead to anxiety and compulsive behaviors. If the fear is of recent origin, you could perhaps identify it and deal with it. But if it is from the long past, then much work has to be done to sort that out. Sometimes this kind of ne...more

Petril is less harmful than ativan, though both belong to benzodiazepine group of medications. But dont worry, he might slowly wane off, or switch to other long term safe medications over a period of time. Openly discuss with him, he will share the treatment plan options. All the best.

Hello lybrate-user. I do not find any problem in that but would have been better had you discussed this issue with your trwating physician. What you can do is first stop thinking about it. Go to bed relaxed and only when you feel sleepy. Do not 'try' to sleep but let sleep come to you.in case you have problem you can take clonazepam on as-and-when required basis. Best luck thanks.

In the first place, it should not have been continued even for 6 months. It should have been replaced by other medicine preferably from ssri group which are more safe in long term and don't carry risk of dependence. Anyway, now first you should take 2 different pills containing propranolol and clonazepam. Propranolol is commonly available in the name of capsule betacap tr / tab. Inderal la which you need to take 40 mg once daily after breakfast. Other you need to get is tab clonazepam 0.25 mg wh...more

Nexito is good for anxiety disorders, zepam should be used for short term and should be tapered down. Nexito can be taken for longer duration and even the dose may be needed to increase. And for few months even after remission of symptoms, nexito might be continued. Along with it counselling may help. Try doing stretching exercises and deep breathing exercises. Include probiotics like dahi, chhach and also some fruits in your diet.

Lonazep is clonazepam. Its relatively safe to kidney but rarely can lead insult to liver. You can check LFT.
