Question: Dear Doctor -. The history of my medication is given below:
- My doctor started with 10mg prozac, gradually stepped up to 30 (20 in the morning and 10 in the night) as i was feeling drowsy with 30 in the morning.
- met her yesterday, she asked me to take prodep 30/40 alternate days, yesterday i took 20 in the morning and 10 in the night and am supposed to take 40 today
-mirtaz 15 in the night
-olimelt 1/2 of 2.5 (i was on 3.75 of olimelt for a long time), my doctor reduced it 2.5 for a week and added buspin 5mg, next week she reduced olimlet to 1/2 of 2.5 and made buspin 10
-with 5 buspin, i was ok. but with 10 buspin, i started getting major stomach cramps, heavy sedation, drowsiness, blurred vision and sleeplessness, dry lips. spoke to my doctor she made 5 mg for one day and then 1/2 of 5 mg from yesterday
-Along with that i am taking etizolam 0.25 in the morning, and 0.5 in the night, betacap tr 25 and inderal 10 sos
-my symptoms are : anxiety/anxiety attacks/anticipatory anxiety/racing thoughts....though the intensity some days is more, other days is less but symptoms still exist
i have the following questions:
After the change of medication yesterday, i did not sleep a wink, with stomach cramps and acidity - is it due to the sudden reduction in buspin, have read on the net that buspin does not cause withdrawal symptoms, was wondering why is this happening to me? and what would your advice be?
since i have been on prodep 30 mg (20/10, mor/eve)for a long time without any major issues, can making it 40 now cause stomach and sleep problems as i have read on the net that it can gives stomach and stomach problems? and should i make it 40 everyday take 20 in the morning and 20 in the night or 30/40 alternate days
Need your urgent advice. Regards, XXXXXXX
