Brief Answer:
continue with earlier medication, lifestyle changes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.

Nexito is a good antianxiety and antidepressant.
I think you should not have stopped the drug on your own if you were doing well on this drug.

All antidepressants can cause sexual problem like delayed ejaculation or impaired erection.
Are you able to masturbate satisfactorily while taking nexito? If yes, you would be able to do intercourse with your wife successfully.

You said you experienced anxiety symptoms like earlier. Did these symptoms appear after you stopped nexito?

Your new doctor has started zaptra for you.
Zaptra is also a good medicine but can cause sedation, constipation and delayed ejaculation (notorious among all SSRI antidepressants for this).

Goodnoct is zolpidem and is used for insomnia.
Ciplar is propranolol and used for anxiety.

These medicines are good but if you were doing well on nexito, I think you should restart with it.

As the anxiety relapsed, I think its major anxiety.

These drugs are stopped by gradually reducing the dose and not abruptly.

You can stop medicines slowly. But you neex some lifestyle changes like practing deep breathing and meditation, avoiding tea coffee and alcohol, eating green vegetables and fruits, drinking lots of water.

Hope you find these suggestions helpful.

Kindly discuss this with your doctor.

Feel free to ask further.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Restart with 10mg nexito.

Detailed Answer:
If you were doing well on nexito 10mg, you should take the same dose. Observe if your anxiety setlles again.
If the anxiety still persists, then you can increase the dose.

Do follow the lifestyle changes as I suggested earlier along with medications.

You have to be cautious in increasing the dose as this can further affect sexual function. Try to keep the dose to minimum possible.

For constipation and gas, you should drink lots of water. Eat fibrous foods and avoid fatty foods. You can also take one tablet dulcolax in night. This should clear your constipation.
For gas, take tablet omeprazole.

Kindly discuss this with your doctor.

Hope this helps.

I wish you well.
Take care.
