Anxiety, heart palpation, dizziness
A doctor recommended me petril 0.25mg to reduce my anxiety levels. I have an allowance of 3 tablets per day.
But can I only take it when I feel anxious? Or I should compulsory take 3 doses. Is there any issues if I take it according to the need, when I feel like taking it.
Will it cause any harm if I reduce the dose?
Please help!

Hi,
Please don't rely on any medicine. For doses you need to consult with your psychiatrist but don't just rely on that. Medicine alone just reduce the symptoms without treating the problem from the roots... Any kind of anxiety has a reason which needs to be evaluated and therapy. Therapy and medicine simultaneously can effect the body to make a correct response. So with therapy you can feel changes and eventually stop the medicine under your psychiatrist advice...
So please consult with a psychologist/therapist as soon as possible.
Take care...
