Hello,

Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.

I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.

I understand that you have depression and digestive issues. Mostly the digestive probleme could also be due to depression. Now the depression requires primarily antidepressants such as escitalopram or fluoxetine or mirtazapine. These antidepressants are very useful and effective as well. On the other hand placida is an old antidepressant prescribed in the past and is having plenty of side effect profile. So I would sugges visit your psychiatrist and get one of the primary antidepressants prescribed.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.

If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
As health care magic is an online forum, legally we are not supposed to prescribe medications without physically examining you. Such regulation are primarily meant for the safety of the patients as well as the Doctor. Further any prescription given in E-mail will not be honored by the pharmacy in your country. Sincere apologies for the same.
However if a similar patient would have turned up at my clinic I would have prescribed him Tab Nexito 10mg in the night along with Tab Zapiz 0.5mg in the night.
Hope this helps,
Kind regards
Dr. Srikanth Reddy MD
