How To Get Rid Of Anxiety And Depression?

I am in love with a girl. After a one long year of convincing her, she finally decided to introduce me to her family. But off late she is acting very weird. I mean she doesn t lift my call properly doesn t message me properly. She wasnt like before. So this is her introduction. Coming to my problem, because of her changed behaviour I am feeling extremely anxious and very much depressive, since my world used to revolve round her. I never thought that she might change as such. I used to pathetically wait for her call or message. At a point I felt like am I being obsessive about it ? Then I thought of changing the mobile number before it gets out of my hand. Now the problem is, I am feeling extremely anxious(anxiety) and there is severe discomfort in the abdomen. Depression is very common these days. Then I thought of taking PRODEP 10mg(morning) + Spectra 10 mg(at night). So my question is..,Is it safe?Will it work for me

hi.. i have read your concern...
i feel that this is not a depression because it is related to your mental obsession with your girl friend and the most distressing thing for u is u are not able to understand her behavior.. so it mostly adjustment disorder with predominant depressive or anxious mood.. but the treatment for this symptoms are similar to that of depression or anxiety disorder..

because it is more of related to stress, arising from your affection and love to one particular person, i feel that u shud go to a psychotherapist and ask for help..it will help u in coping with your thoughts, anxiety and depressed feelings...

the medications i would like to suggest u are as following:
tablet. prodep [20 mg] in the morning after breakfast
tablet. clonazepam [klonopin 0.25 mg] twice daily
if u have problem with your sleep like in initiation or maintenance of the sleep, then u can take tablet. zolpidem [10 mg] at bed time..

the medications u are taking will help u but they are in a low dose..and spectra is not a good drug, it has more side effects..so u can take the meds i ve prescribed...

so take meds and consult a psychotherapist, explain your problems and attend regular sessions for counselling..

i hope u ll find this advice helpful.. best luck...
