Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using HealthcareMagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns about masturbation.
I like to inform you that masturbation is completely harmless activity and do not affect your married life in either positive or negative way. Take it easy and do not think it is wrong or sin.
I also like to state that almost 95% of men and 71% of women practice masturbation and it is as common as sexual intercourse.
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for follow up.
There are many anti-anxiety medications from a different class such as antidepressants, beta-blockers, benzodiazepines and buspirone.
Except for Benzodiazepines, all three groups of anti-anxiety medications are non-addictive and largely safe.
For the initial time, it will be appropriate to use beta blocker along with SSRI group of medication such as Lexapro, Paxil, Prozac or Zoloft among others. Over a period of time, beta blockers can be removed and then after a certain duration an attempt to stop SSRI medications can be considered.
It is not necessary to take antianxiety medications for life long in most individuals with anxiety.
I hope this answers you.
Thanks and regards.
