Suggest Treatment For Depression And Anxiety Disorder

Hello Doctor... i am suffering from Depression and anxiety disorder and was under the treatment for 3 years with first doctor and when things stopped improving, i switched to another doctor who is a renowned psychiatrist in Delhi. I am on Daxid 100 mg BD, Olenz 2.5 mg Half a tab once daily+ Toficalm 50 mg BD. Things were good untill now and due to consuming beer consecutively 2 days, i started feeling anxious, depressed, low in energy, sadness, emptyness and visited my doctor yesterday, My doc added Bupron xl 150 mg to be taken in the morning along with the other medications mentioned above. I want to know if depression and anxiety can ever be cured fully.. Because its been 5 years now since i am on continues medication and problems keep coming back. Please advise.

Hello there I have read through your question and understand your concern. First of all would like to advise you to avoid alcohol cause the efficacy of these drugs may decrease because of alcohol. Secondly it is possible to be cured from anxiety and depression but you have to work on it along with taking medications. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and nutritious diet is very important. Also apart from Medicines going for counselling at regular intervals also helps to recover faster. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
