Sir I have been prescribed etizolam0. 25 twice a day for 3 days and then etizolam 0.25 at 11 am and etizolam 0.50 at 7 pm. For 6 weeks. I also prescribed escitalopram at night half dozen and after 7 days taking one at night for depression and anxiety. Is it safe for my body. Please advise me.

Yes it's safe. Once your symptoms are under control these medications can be tapered slowly.

Etizolam is usually prescribed for short periods (upto 4 weeks) to help with anxiety and sleep but not for depression. If this is the case then no need to worry. Regarding escitalopram it is one of the safest antidepressant. Do not worry, please follow up with your psychiatrist. If you need second opinion please consult.

Not at all, I am sure the person who prescribed these is not a psychiatrist. Etizolam is used for short term control or supplement for treatment of anxiety, not primary medication. Ssri or snri are generally given which act on the cause of the anxiety. Good luck.
