Hi. I feel you should take guidance of a psychiatrist before tapering down nexito plus, because it causes lot of different types of troubling symptoms. And maybe there is some anxiety component left with you, which has not been resolved till now. It can be due to anything, maybe some life stress going on, or being stuck in thinking about a past event, anything. Maybe if you are having difficulty in contacting your psychiatrist, you can contact me on Lybrate. I'll have to take a detailed history of your illness, and accordingly will guide you with medicines and counselling sessions in future.

Dear Angshu, During covid and after recovery, the anxiety occurs even in normal persons. This is NOT the time to think of tapering off nexito plus. Please continue and consult your doctor later on for tapering. In the meanwhile learn yoga, pranayama, jacobson's deep muscle relaxation or therapy to manage your anxiety and fear.

If you have been on this medication after recovery from covid-19, it is possible that these may be related to after-effects of covid. If you have not been for counseling, I suggest that you should seek the help of therapy and not rely entirely on the medication. The effects are quite similar to ptsd and counseling will certainly alleviate the condition and could help you recover better. Counseling will help in training you will skills and techniques to cope with the daily challenges in life and will give you a fair chance to manage your life. You must also develop your constitution to make it fit enough to cope with fear, felt many times unnecessarily. You may be taking normal fear and converting it into abnormal fear like anxiety and so on. Take care of the following: mental stability can be achieved by learning a few skills in handling emotions in an appropriate manner. Stress management skills, which have a lot to do with expressing emotions, will need to be a major part of your recovery program. Emotionally you need the help of a counselor and that will help you tremendously to move from anxiety to normal fear. Please persevere and cooperate through all the support you need and you will come through successfully. Develop your body?s health by physical fitness through exercise, good rest (sleep), and a proper diet. Any way what you need to focus on is to do vigorous exercise, depending on your condition, of the aerobic kind for the heart?s fitness; meditation for the brain?s fitness; sleep for a well rested mind and body; a sound spiritual well being for good confidence and stability; and a diet with lots of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Vigorous (check with your doctor if you have recovered sufficiently) exercise, especially of the callisthenic kind, will make your heart, which is a muscle, grow larger; and then your heart will need to beat less often and you will respond to the anxiety with a calmer disposition. If your mind, constitution, and your emotions are in check and fit, you will never be disturbed again.

During covid anxiety tends to be more, so consult your psychiatrist and take needed dose, rather than getting under dosed and suffering from anxiety. If your brain (mind) can't produce adequate serotonin, it needs to be replaced for well being. When covid ends, and the situation is congenial, you can discuss with your treating psychiatrist and attempt tapering the dose. Good luck.
