Hi, I have been on Uvox 50 mg and melzap for about 6 months now for my anxiety and OCD. I used to take twice daily but since a month now, I tapered down to just one dose at night. But the other day I forgot to take that one dose at night and I had a very bad episode of nightmare. I couldn't sleep the entire night, I would wake up every hour experiencing a nightmare. Do you think it's because of the withdrawal?

Yes. 6 months does not complete the course of medication and do not play around with medicines on your own. Along with medicine go for psychotherapy to learn to manage and overcome these symptoms consult with me or any psychologist for therapy and counseling connect with me through text or audio on Lybrate app all the best.

Do not stop medicines suddenly, some times they have a rebound effect. Take medical advise before stopping, by the way how is your original problem after 6 months medication.
