Is Rexipra The Correct Medication For Anxiety And Depression?
I have been advised to take Rexipra 20 initiating with Rexipra 10 for 10 days at bed time to treat my anxiety and depression along with clonarest .5mg twice daily, one at bed time another after lunch. Are these correct medicines to treat my anxiety related phobia and depression?
Rexipra contains Escitalopram which is SSRI(Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor). This medicine is very good antidepressant and useful in anxiety disorder with phobia.It is very well tolerated with less side effects.
Clonarest contains clonazepam which is benzodiazepiene and very much used for initial relief of anxiety symptoms as well as for sleep.It can be stopped after relief of symptoms.
Simultaneously psychotherapy and behavior therapy would be helpful and help you to stop medicines early.
