Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I read your query and can understand you concern due to anxiety. You condition is highly amenable to treatment provided you seek proper treatment. That will also include regular follow ups with a psychiatrist.

Nexito plus contains escitalopram and clonazepam. Generally I don't suggest using clonazepam for a long term. If at all needed, it must be used for a short period only. For your condition, Tab Escitalopram 10 mg/day would be recommended as a starting dose and depending on improvement, dose increment is done, upto a maximum dose of 20 mg/day. The treatment will have to continue at least one year after improvement in symptoms.

In addition, it would be advisable that you start exercising which will help you relax and control your anxiety.

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
