TAKING MEDICINE LIKE VILAMID . HAVING MOOD SWING, ANXIETY . I JUST WANTED TO KNOW, DO I HAVE TO TAKE THIS MEDICINE LIFE LONG? PLEASE ALSO GUIDE ME, HOW I CAN RECOVER COMPLETELY?
Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan
Psychiatry
Based on your clinical history, your doctor plans the type of medicine and it's dose and duration. For first episode of anxiety/ depression/ panic, the usual maintenance phase is 6 months of asymptomatic period, after which medicines can be gradually tapered. But treatment may need to continue longer depending on severity and frequency of episodes. To take any decision to change medication or stop them, several factors have to be taken in account for which regular follow up with your psychiatrist is important. For second opinion, seek a proper consultation with another psychiatrist and take along your previous prescriptions.
