Is Stalopam Plus The Right Medicine For Stress?

Respected Doctor, As prescribed by doctor, I started Zolfresh 5 Mg 2 years back and for the past 1 year I had to increase to 10 Mg. Now I got addicted with this. Recently, I had consulted Psychiatrist for my high stress and doctor prescribed Stalopam Plus. Doctor also advised to discontinue Zolfresh. Though I tried, I could not stop Zolfresh. For the past 1 month I am taking both tablets at night. Though I find improvement in my stress level, I am NOT getting proper sleep. Request you to please guide me Doctor.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Both the medicines are indicative for stress, anxiety and mild depression. You new doctor prrescribed stalopam because he felt it will be a better option for your problem. Your psychiatrist prescribed you with this medicine after assessing your situation thoroughly. He even asked you to discontinue the old medicine because he felt no need of it. But you did not. There are two things acts here. Your lack of trust to the new psychiatrist. Second being your mental obsession and apprehension about leaving zolofresh. You need to overcome these two problems. Trust your doctor and do as you are told by him. That will be the best option. Take care.
