Brief Answer:
It is more likely clonazepam withdrawal
Detailed Answer:
Dear Dutta,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
It is most likely a withdrawal side effect of Clonazepam as therewas no side effects with any of the medications which contained escitalopram (Taloprex, Stalopam, Rexipra all contain same medicine).
These withdrawal side effects are likely to continue for one week or more from the last day of discontinuation. So in between that time it is important to do the breathing exercises, stress management to keep the withdrawal effects under control. IN addition keep yourself hydrated by taking lot of water.
I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.

Hi , I also get very disturbed sleep throughout the nite and have a lot of dreams . Because of this I remain in bed and don feel like getting out of bed and get late to work . This has bn happening since last 2 months . I don want any sleeping tablets since it induces drowsiness and makes it worse . Will taloprax take care of it . My life is getting hampered because of this and my doc doesn't openly tell me everything . I am getting married end of this year and I want to have a normal sleep .
Brief Answer:
Taloprex can help but often takes time

Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for reverting back to me.
Yes taloprex can help as sleep problem is the part of depression and any antidepressant is likely to help you. Since they take time (2-6 weeks) it is possible that you need to take some sedative on temporary basis and than discontinue it when taloprx becomes effective.
I hope this assists you further.
Thanks and regards.

Also I want to ask since I changed so many meds shall it affect my mental condition ? I have become very demotivated and now feel I will not respond to any medication and my condtn will become worse
Brief Answer:
No
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for reverting back to me.
The number of medication do not affect your brain in long run and unlikely to cause any such effects. And all the medicines used in your case belong to single group (as far as I know) so I do not think there are multiple medicines used.
Feeling demotivated and hopelessness are part of the depression and likely to respond with same set of medications.
I hope this assists you further.
Thanks and regards.
