Is It Safe To Continue Taking Paxidep Post Recovery From Anxiety And Depression?
I was suffering from anxiety and insomnia from Dec 14, till mar 15, I disturbed mentally a lot, I have consulted psychologist, he recommended paxidep 12.5 for 15 days, there is not much improvement, then he recommended 25mg dose for one month, there is 80% improvement, again he asked to continue 25mg for 2 months till date i am feeling 100% improvement, our doctor is asking to continue the medicine for one year, my question is whether it is necessery to continue the medicine or not, since I am worried about the side effects of medicine. Regards, Ramesh

Hi,
In my view you should try to improve your nutrition (100cal more diet derived from extra proteins, vitamins, minerals apart from your routine food. please consult a dietitian for more specific advise according to your health). Try to feed her every time she demands feed, sucking of baby stimulates milk secretion. You can try Ayurvedic medicine Galactone with milk.
Metoclopramide (Reglan pills) dose is to be adjusted according to your health and you need to consult your gynecologist. Proper nutrition, positive efforts and thinking of mother helps many a times. In case there is no response, try giving diluted cow milk with added sugar, properly boiled and given freshly prepared. Give it after breast feeding. The baby would take if she is still hungry. Give spoon feeding, in case the baby does not like smell of rubber nipple of bottle.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
