I was prescribed and have been taking clonafit plus 5 mg and prolomet xl 25 for 1 and half month. On my recent visit to my doctor he said as I have recovered from anxiety I can now stop taking clonafit plus. I asked him regarding withdrawal symptoms of clonafit plus. But he said since it was low dose I can stop taking it. But still I am worried that can I stop taking 5 mg clonafit plus. Kindly help.

You can stop now if you feel better from anxiety recovery.

Dear lybrate-user, as guided by your doctor follow his/her instructions for now.� if your doctor says that there are no withdrawal symptoms due to the low dose, trust him/her. You could always go back to him if there are any repercussions. I can understand your worry about stopping the medication but before that, I would like to know have you worked on identifying your anxiety triggers. Sometimes it is all about how you deal with your fears. These concerns can ideally be resolved by therapy. Cognitive restructuring therapy will help you in challenging your anxiety thoughts in simple 3 steps: �1. Identifying your negative thoughts:- one strategy is to ask yourself what you were thinking when you started feeling anxious. 2. Challenging your negative thoughts: the therapist will help you teach how to evaluate your anxiety-provoking thoughts. 3. Replacing negative thoughts with realistic thoughts: your therapist will help you come up with realistic calming statements you can say to yourself when you are facing any situation.� my best wishes to you. Take care saarika reddeppa.

Make clonafit plus half and take it for about 10- 20 days and then stop. If symptoms remit, well and good. If they recue you need to consult again. Good luck.

Dear lybrate-user, clonafit being a benzodiazepine will be withdrawn at the earliest. Just in 1 1/2 months with no increase of dose, you would not have become dependent on it. So withdrawal may not occur. Please put it to test.
