Brief Answer:
Dose can be increased and psychotherapy should be done

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.

Recita forte contains escitalopram 10 mg and clonazepam 0.5 mg. IF this dose is not sufficient for insomnia clonazepam can be increased.
For chest stress ecg and x-ray should be done to rule out physical problem. When investigations come normal daytime clonazepam can be added and/or escitalopram dose can be increased.

I also prefer to apply psychotherapy in such cases. In psychotherapy with supportive psychotherapy CBT- cognitive behavior therapy is useful.

Please discuss with your treating doctor about these recommendations.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
