Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Depression
I have been taking Paxil for 2yrs recently Dr has raised my dosage to 50mg a day and added buspoin 10 mg 2x day and aso trazidone 75 mg at night, I got to the point I could not function ( was falling asleep while driving could not sleep more than a hour at a time thru the night and still having issues with anxity and depression) so 4 weeks ago I started to taper off and try to get off all the meds,, I am having a really hard time with the withdraws and just wondering if their is anything I should be concerned with and watch for? And is there a better way to deal with anxity and depression ? I don t want to be taking so may meds and feeling like I am a zombie?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
There is no need to take so many tablets. You can take escitalopram along with low dose of benzodiazepine. You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing. That would help you to come out of anxiety. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper management.
