Taking Rexipra-10, Rexipra 5. If dose missed:stomach upset, strain in head. Medicine timing and further suggestions
human
i am currently taking Rexipra-10 + Rexipra 5 + Clonotril 0.25 at night Daily. I feel that these are only helping for 1 day i.e. the day i take the medicine and internally it is making me weak. An example of this is the following effects the next day once i miss the dose on night: Stomach upset. Strain in Head. wet eyes. uncontrollable anger. Mental Unrest. Diverted Concentration. Muscle Pain. I want to be slowly getting rid of these medicines and all my weaknesses including anxiety and depression are covered up.  Thank you so much doctors for your expert view but i think i should add more details:  I have been on rexipra for more than 3 years and before that on other anti depressants for as long as 6-7 years. and in touch with psychiatrist. So what is it that is stopping me to get alright .And also a major thing i want to ask is currently i am taking the medicines at night ,should i take them during the day time?

Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. From the medications that you have stated it appears that you are having a depressive episode. Now depression takes 3-4 weeks to get better and another 4-6 months of therapy for prevention of further episodes. The symptoms you develop after discontinuation are not those of depression but are infact withdrawal symptoms of the drugs that you are on. If you taper them gradually under the guidance of the psychiatrist you will not have these kind of symptoms. With depression certain areas of your brain reduce in size. antidepressants that you are on , bring those areas to normal size. Hence its not taking the medications that will make you weak, not taking the medications. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
