Dear Sir can i take stablon, Duzela 20mg & bupron xl 150 all medicine together
Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan
Psychiatry
Based on your clinical history, your doctor plans the type of medicine and it's dose and duration. If your psychiatrist has prescribed all medicines, he must have analysed the need for it.
I am suffering from anxiety. Last I year I took stablon as prescribed by psychiatrist for about 5 months but I stopped it without consulting paychiatrust because my BP increases to 150/95. After quitting stablon, now my bp is about 125/85. Now I still have anxiety disorder. What should I do.
Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan
Psychiatry
There are other Options available for treatment of anxiety. Please see your psychiatrist or take second opinion. Anxiety is the result of a hyperarousal state of nervous system due to a low threshold for threat perception. In simpler words, it's an ongoing flight or fight response. It can elicit a neuro-hormonal response understood as Flight or Fright reaction kicking in physiological cascade of symptoms ranging from palpitations, tachycardia, breathlessness, increased bowel movement, increase frequency of urination, dizziness, muscle tension or pain, trembling, dizziness, blurring of vision to restlessness, confusion and fainting spells. Chronic stress causes prolonged anxiety response with the consequences of slowed me ration, lack of concentration, headaches, fluctuations in blood pressure and increased wear and tear of body tissues. Identifying your stressors, learning to deal with them, de stressing regularly by doing something that makes one feel good, yoga and meditation are some non pharmacological strategies to deal with it. If the condition is persisting for a long time, it's better to see a psychiatrist and continue treatment.
