Suggest Treatment For Persistent Depression And Sleep Disorder

Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Facial swelling/twitching, memory loss, and anxiety are not likely to be caused by any of the medications you list above. More likely these are symptoms of depression, with the exception of facial swelling which needs emergent medical attention. I would not stop any of these medications, because they cannot be suddenly stopped safety -- instead, you should take him to an ER to get evaluated for facial swelling.

Detailed Answer:
If you Google the side effects of Tylenol, you will see liver failure listed. Just because a side effect is listed does not mean it is likely. I did not say difficulty breathing was due to depression -- cognitive impairment is. Anxiety is related to depression and often causes the sensation of choking or difficulty breathing -- these are classic symptoms of anxiety and panic. Anxiety can be worsened after taking a medication because the person is anticipating its effects.
If your son is experiencing facial swelling, this could be angioedema or an allergic reaction and needs EMERGENT evaluation in the ER. This cannot wait until tomorrow.
I advised that none of these medications can be stopped safely. This is not a generic answer -- this is based on years of experience I have with these medications and the terrible withdrawal effects people suffer when they stop these medications suddenly.
My recommendation remains the same -- do not stop any of these medications, but go directly to an ER for evaluation of swelling, which could be life-threatening.
