Detailed Answer:
Hello

GGood to see you.


If you have taken it for 2 years than it almost normalized.


The strange feeling that have you told may be a part of your illness.

Afraid of driving is also part of illness.

I want to know what was the diagnosis ??

Because it is necessary to differentiate between symptoms of illnesses and drug side effect

In my practice we keep changing in dose and drug till full improvement.

If you took it since 2 years than how much improvement do you feel ??

If not significant than it is necessary to change a drug or add some other drug.


So please consult your psychiatrist.
m always here to help you.


If still you have query than ask in detail about your ilness and how it started

Thank you
Take care
