Yes Sir,while i am on regular nexito plus,my problem affects my study & life as i feel sleepy & energy less.
Other than study it affects my relationships with my boyfriend and with my family.
When i stop to take medicine,i do not decrease the dose,i stop suddenly.
I dont drink or smoke.
Sir, my main problem is i m facing "lack of concentration", "lack of focus", "problem in decision making", "anxiety", "nightmares", "memory problem" as it is difficult for me to remember the names,faces,phone numbers & incidents. & i am facing all this as i started to take nexito plus. i am so much dependent on it.
In the starting phase i took nexito at 9 'o clock at night & i slept around 11 or 12. But Now i take nexito at 9'o clock but i sleep around 2 or 3'O clock at night.
My family thinks that its all my perceptions & my insomnia and depression problem does not exist. They don't support me.and they don't even give me medicines,they say that medicines are making me mental.
I am feeling alone. I have faced 4 break ups in my life, it was the major cause of my depression and turned into insomnia. I have cut my hands in past because of frustation. I have too much thoughts in my mind and i am not able to achieve mental peace.I am a good student as i got 84% marks in my graduation but gradually i am loosing my mental power may be because of nexito plus or may be because of tension. i am physically active,dance is my hobby,i read books on positive thinking. But now everything is becoming fruitless. I am loosing my confidence. My family consider me as a mental. I feel that i am not able to make good relationships as i had 3 break ups.
I am going Jaipur to take coaching but i feel i should not go because clearing the exams is not my cup of tea. I have lost my confidence and now i am loosing my hope over life. Nobody supports me not even my family...Help me

Thank you XXXXXXX for mentioning the details
Nexito plis contains escitalopram, an antidepresant and clonazepam, an antianxiety drug.
Clonazepam may cause sleepy and may affect concentration in some individuals
Therefore, it may be a good idea to take only escitalopram, not to take clonazepam on regular basis
Stopping the drug at a time can cause some symptoms that you are referring to. These symptoms are called serotonin discontinuation syndrome. To minimize these symptoms one need to taper the dose gradually over a couple of months and then stop.
Moreover, the description of your problems may better be dealt with counselling / psychotherapy along with appropriate low dose medications.
Counselling / psychotherapy will help you in: you can speak your mind to some one who can understand (unlike your near and dear), can help you to guide you in establishing relationship, guiding you in carrear etc
I presume you have much to discuss. If so, requesting a counselling call to me via health care magic, if you wish so, might help
Life has many faces of which relationship is one, but career is an important area of life, too. Therefore ignoring this area of life may not solve the problem.
Hope I could be of some help in addressing your issues. Let me know if I can help you further.
Wish you good luck
