You should never stop these medicines without your doctor's advice. Although this medication can be addictive, it is good for your anxiety. If you have the strips with you, please check the expiry date and if it is still within the expiry date, you can take it. But I advise you to meet with your doctor and let her/him monitor your medication. It is also recommended that if you don't want to take the medicine for a long time, you should seek the help of a counselor from whom you will learn skills...more

Supplements like taurine are better taken after a physicians advise. If after taking the same you have anxiety, stop and see if it remits. If it doesn't consult a psychiatrist. Good luck.

Doc has prescribed bupron xl 150 after breakfast. After that am suffering from sleeplessness. I am also taking melatonin 3. I have some anxiety issues.

Melatonin helps in sleep initiation and clonazepam helps in all phases of sleep (initiation, maintenance and duration of sleep). Hence, if required then you can take both. However, you can consider of improving your sleep hygiene, if it is deranged.

Psychiatrist•Karnal

Each medication has different mechanism of action, so the above combination can be used, if required. Though generally we try to manage the illness with single medication as much as possible. Consult with your doctor, if he/she can adjust the dose of bupropion which might improve your anxiety, without the need of taking panazap ls.
