Before consulting psychiatrist I had consult so many general and medicine doctor. I don't know I was confused or they made me confused. I found one psychiatry. I has given heavy doses of medicine. And rightly so. I was at the peak of the disease and that there is only one thing death. Those meds helps little. Finally I move to other state to start business because of some personal problem. One incident happened in my life and after that I lost faith in everything. From that moment I don't care I live or die but have to do something for the family so I started business.� feel good now. But I kept taking tablets. I was not in contact with my doctor. Recently I read one of the tablets which I am consuming may lead to death. I was happy in business. But due to lighten I became alone and again it started. Currently I am taking daxid 100 thrice a day. Clonam 2 mg (clonazepam) twice a day, tenormin 25 mg once, fibator 10 mg once, inderal 20 mg once, ciladuo 5 mg once. I am taking clonazepam 2 mg twice a day since 8 years, similar case with daxid. However now I am only taking daxid twice a day. Withdraw qutan 25. Now the anxiety is about what will happen next as I am taking these tablets since 8 years. Pls pls pls somebody help me. I have gone through immense mental pain. Dosent get any help. I lost my precious 13 years by sitting in one corner of the room. I want to get rid of this. Its beyond imagination for any one to understand what I had gone through. Any one pls show me the way.

Dear sir it appears that you have frustrated with both medication and illness. What I believe is be positive. What I would suggest is continue the medication if it is helping. I have not heard that it may cause any toxicity in this dose. Once your symptoms are under control for substantial period later you can consider for gradual discontinuation. As your problem is for long duration immediate discontinuation is not advisable. Involving in business itself is one form of treatment. Other options you can do on regular basis is exercise, yoga, meditation. Apart from medication if possible you can try psychological treatment from a qualified trained clinical psychologist. I think the way you are doing now, your future should be much much better than what you experienced in the past. Be hopeful for the best. Best of luck.

Dear lybrate-user I was wondering why you are not able to receive psychological intervention or therapies like cognitive bt, or even simple counselling or anxiety reducing and relaxing practices. Please consult a clinical psychologist near your place or take it online. Do certain basic things like do regular exercise, take a healthy diet with least sugar and fat, free of junk food but with adequate vegetables ,protein and fruits. Do some mind relaxing ,calming techniques. Be safe, no need to get so much frustrated, definitely you will get the right help I hope. Take care, follow social distancing bye.

Do not worry sir. Your doses are so less to kill you. You might face some side side effects. You can keep taking the meds stop qutan. And get lipid profile done. If it comes to normal some other meds can be stopped. Rest you can get a online consultation from me. Whenever you want. Thanks and regards.

Keep taking medicines, and consult with psychiatrist after lockdown is lifted. If you don't take medications your symptoms will come up again, and that would be much much harmful than the side-effects of the medications you took all those years. All the worries you have - discuss with the doctor. But, keep in mind that these worries might be part of your anxiety disorder - hence, all of he worries need not be taken seriously.
