Can Taking C Pram S 20 And Rivotril 2mg Be Safe For Anxiety And Depression?

Hello Doctor, My mom has been suffering in depression and anxiety.Her age is 48. This disease she is facing when she gave birth to my brother but she had consulted a doctor and she took medicines and cured. If she got into any tension or feeling of a particular matter she will get depressed and the problem will start. The same thing happened now by worrying about her mother and she is taking different kind of medicines and we had seen 3 or 4 doctors and now continuing with the old doctor which we had taken treatment for past days. The problem for her is now No interest to speak with anyone and no interest to work, sometimes feeling that why i have to live and doctor had prescribed for the medicine of C Pram S20 with the combination of Rivotril 2 mg always she is lying and no interest to do anything even bathing also we need to force her. Please give me a suggestion

Hello thanks for asking from HEALTH CARE MAGIC

She has history of depression after the birth of your brother and that was treated well with medicines. Now she has symptoms like lack of interest in work or anhedonia, bad thoughts like why she is living etc which can be explained easily by her depressive episode. She has been prescribed C-PRAM S (Escitalopram) and Rivotril (Clonazepam). Escitalopram is SSRI drug and the drug is a good anti-depressant drug. The drug is safe to use and is not associated with any serious side effects.
She is having negative symptoms like poor interaction, decreased talking to any one. In such case medicines like Amisulpiride can prove useful. The drug is used in depression for negative symptoms. You can consult her psychiatrist for proper treatment and for prescription of this drug.

Thanks
