Hello,
I suggest you continue Seroquel.
Also, I would like to suggest some medicines
1. Bupropion 100 mg orally twice a day
2. ALPRAZOLAM 0.25mg, Three times a day
3. Buspirone 7.5 mg orally 2 times a day
Along with these two, please continue Seroquel. You may discontinue clonazepam and zolpidem.
I also suggest you to read these guidelines: A number of psychotherapy techniques may be helpful. Here are some examples:
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps you recognize and change unreasonable patterns of thinking and behavior.
Psychodynamic or insight-oriented psychotherapy helps you understand the history behind your symptoms.
For example, you may become more aware of how you have carried past fears into the present day. This insight may help you face challenges more confidently now.
Interpersonal psychotherapy can help you sort out anxiety-provoking conflicts in important relationships and resolve them more effectively.
Exposure and desensitization is a behavioral technique that provides support so you can confront a specific fear and overcome it. It is particularly helpful when anxiety is causing you to avoid important tasks or responsibilities.
Applied relaxation teaches people with generalized anxiety disorder to control their symptoms by using imagination and muscle control.
Relaxation techniques, such as diaphragmatic breathing, meditation and visualization, can relieve some of the more bothersome physical symptoms.
Biofeedback uses special sensors attached to the skin to teach people with generalized anxiety disorder to recognize anxiety-related changes in their physiological functions, for example, pulse, skin temperature and muscle tone.
With time and practice, patients learn to modify these anxiety-related changes and to control the effect of anxiety on the entire body.
Thank you and any further problem, feel free to ask here. At least continue this treatment for 1 month, and see whether it is going good or not.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dipan Samanta, General & Family Physician
