Suggest Suitable Therapy For Anxiety
Sir,
My wife is taking Espazine plus Tab with B'complex 1+1 at night for the past 23 years. She under gone treatment from17-5-1988 to 23-5-1988 with 4ECT. Now the dosage increased up to 2+2 in the morning and night also. Her DOB is 13 Jul 1953 (58yrs). I consulted a DPM doctor at my town , he said it is old drug and finds difficult to get the equivalent to substitute with the one tablet at night time only so as to avoid so much of medication . Kindly suggest .
Thanking you
your sincerely

Hi.
I understand your concern.
Yes espazine is old molecules and it contain trifluperazine. It is anti psychotic medicines and help to control psychotic features.
Dose is depend upon diagnosis and and its severity. It can not be used in anxiety. So i need proper history and diagnosis to give you best advise related to this medicine.
Espazine can be replaced by newer antipsychotic but detail psychopathology is neeed .
So consult best psychiatrist in your town for best assistance.
I hope I have answered your question.
Thank you.
