Dear Dr. Some 4 years ago, I was feeling slight depression that I could not give proper attention to my office work. I consulted psychiatrist who prescribed (1) Cap Betacap-TR 40mg (1-0-0); and (2) Licab-XL 400 mg (1-0-1). After around 4 to 5 months, I was feeling al right. On every 3 monthly consulation, intimated accordingly. However, even after 4 years' treatment, Dr. says treatment will go long. He never replies approximate period. I feel side effects of acute constipation, reduced heart beats (60/61) and tremors on both the hands. All pathological reports are normal such as S. Creatinine (1.28); TSH (0.62); Free T4 (15.98); and S. lithium (0.63). After tests, dose of Licab-XL has been increased from 600 mg/pd to 800 mg/pd. Now, pl guide me whether treatment being given is proper or otherwise. Looking to side effects, should the medicines be continued? I feel that now no medicines as prescribed required to be continued and wants to stop it gradually reducing the dose and power . Am I correct?
