I am taking Zosert 100 mg twice daily. This has been prescribed by an Physicatrist due to my nerves pain in back side and neck. I am not comfortable taking medicine since there is no depression. I would like to drop the medicine Maxgalin 75 mg,Etilam is taken along with zoset. Please advise to stop taking these medicines need your advise on this Thanks

helloYou are on the highest dose of zosert right now. Whatever be the reason if taking it, but it should be tapered slowly over time and then stopped.Sudden stoppage may cause you huge problematic issues.Try with reducing 25mg at a time, wait for 2-3 weeks and if you are ok then further reduce it by 25mg. Continue to do so after a gap of few weeks till you are ok.But if there is any problem in between then you will have to discuss it.You can discuss this gradual withdrawal technique with your treating team and move ahead.Wish you good luck.Dr. Manisha GopalMD Psychiatry
