General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the Feliz S contains Escitalopram as content widely used by clinicians for the purpose of

- generalised anxiety disorders
- panic attacks
- insomnia
- obsessive compulsive behavior

* The sleeplessness after discontinuation of the above drug is responsible for serotonin level alteration making sleep very difficult.

However, a guided approach for dose tapering is recommended to avoid such problems.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
