The symptoms you're experiencing could be related to various factors, including your depression, the medication you're taking, alcohol consumption, or other underlying health issues. Abruptly quitting alcohol after regular use can sometimes lead to withdrawal symptoms, which may include nausea, dizziness, headache, and mood changes. It's possible that these symptoms are a result of alcohol withdrawal. Regarding your medication, szetalo plus 10 is a combination of escitalopram (an antidepressant) and clonazepam (a sedative). Abruptly stopping the medication or changing the dosage without medical supervision can also cause withdrawal-like symptoms and a recurrence of depressive symptoms. Inderal (propranolol) is a beta-blocker primarily used to treat high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. It's important to follow the prescribed dosage and not make any changes without consulting your doctor. To address your concerns and symptoms, it's crucial to reach out to your healthcare provider as soon as possible. They will be able to evaluate your situation, review your medication regimen, and suggest any necessary adjustments. They may also consider alternative treatment options or refer you to a mental health specialist for further evaluation. In the meantime, it can be helpful to engage in self-care practices such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation. These lifestyle changes can support your overall well-being and potentially alleviate some symptoms. Remember, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice based on your specific circumstances.

Don't lessen the medication without consulting your doctor. If you are feeling sleepy, it may be because you are taking it late int he night. I suggest that you take your medication early in the evening and have your dinner early too. This way the drug effect will wean off in the morning and make you feel less sleepy. Anxiety has all to do with fear and your inability (or so you would tend to think) to handle the same. Fear is based on looking too much into the future and imagining things that usually do not tend to happen (usually 92% of your fears will not happen). You need to change your perception of the fearful stimulus then you can change your response to the fear. The first one is the best and will preempt the need for the second. If you are already far gone into the reaction mode, then you need both responses to counter the attack. The way we see things in life (like half empty or half full glass) is very dependent on our attitude. Attitude may have developed over many years but fortunately can change in a matter of sustained choices made and acted up on now. Sometimes, fear may have originated in childhood and your body, more than you brain, remembers the emotion and will react with heightened fear even for the slightest provocation or stimulus. Sometimes, you may not even need a stimulus! these matters can ideally be resolved in therapy only, and exclusively. Accordingly, you choose to see things as either threatening or as an opportunity. The opportunist will be positive and work with the situation to make good out of it. The individual who sees it as threatening, will, out of fear, try to avoid/run away from the situation or react with anxiety. Yes, self-belief does impact it too, but you can see that prior to that, perception will tarnish the belief system too. Here, you can see that all the resolution lies in just changing your perception/attitude, even if it is against odds. Changing your response, despite the perception, is building up of your reserves and resources to handle any contingency that life throws up at you. And life throws up situations quite regularly and heavily. For this you need to develop a fit mind and body: the former, by meditation and mind exercises; and the later, by exercises and proper diet. You need good sleep too. Included in the development of the mind is the handling of emotions, in your case, fear. These changes will give you a handle on life and your perceptions and responses. Prayer is really powerful, if you are a spiritual person. Repeat some personally framed affirmations that are geared to calming you down and building confidence. Do a personality development course too. Anything that develops you personally will be of great assistance in building resilience.

You are being treated for depression and anxiety. You need to improve your sleep for sure. Sleep for less than 6 hours can induce various disorders both directly and indirectly. You may also suffer from hysteria and can give yourself all kinds of disorders like you describe. I suggest that you seek the help of a counselor too and work on your emotions, especially anger and fear. These may have childhood influences and it is best to work these out with a therapist. These complications will continue if you do not combine medication with counseling.
