Dear Dr. I Have Been Suffering From Anxiety And Depression

My humble request is instead of taking all these medications kindly prescribe one medicine like zolax. As I am 48 years it works for at least a decade
My humble request to prescribe one medicine like panacea so that I overcome stomach disorders, physical weakness, depression, fatigue etc.
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
First of all I like to inform you that Zolax SR is one of the prohibited substances/medications and can not be prescribe through online consultation. There is definite need for in person consultation with doctor.
Having said this I like to inform you that use of Zolax SR is not without risk and should be avoided as far as possible at your age. It is associated with cognitive problems, falls and fractures among others.
I endorse your idea to have less number of medications and I feel Libotryp DS can be the answer for your problem. However this again needs in person consultation and prescription. In similar cases I often start with one tablet at night and increase to higher dose as per the needs.
I hope this answers you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.


Follow up
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.
Since it is causing high sedation it is advised to go for half tablet or Libotryp rather than libotryp DS.
The Libotryp contains 12.5 mg amitryptiline plus chlordiazepoxide 5 mg which is half of libotryp DS.
It is also requested to see a doctor in person as getting direct medication from pharmacy is not appropriate in most instances.
I hope this helps you further.
Thanks and regards.


There is need to give a fair trial
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.
There is no medicine which will be effective from the first day and we need to give a fair trial before calling it not suitable or something similar.
The effects can be expected only after a week or multiple weeks in most instances. Similarly sedation is problem for most medications used for anxiety and depression and generally sedation subsides over the days, within first week in most instances.
I hope this helps you further.
Thanks again.
