Nexito 5 mg
Hi I am prescribed to take nexito 5 mg for treating my general anxiety and for the lack of love for myself. I have been taking therapy for past few months and I have improved a bit but not able to change my mindset of hating myself and anxiety .
Is it ok to take Nexito 5 mg ? What are the advantages of it ? What would be the long and short term side affects of the medicine ? For how long would I have to take this medicine ?
Can we manage general anxiety and depression without medication ?

Your Consultant will do the needful, in case you tell him. Finally anxiety disorders have an underlying base of an anxious personality. Requires a lot more than medicines alone. As mentioned above.

Hi
One can take medicines for general anxiety for one month to three months, then they can take a break & if anxiety reappears, again they can start therapy, so treatment for anxiety is never permanent, it's off and on. Usually for anxiety we prefer a low dose of medicine so you need not expect side effects.
Next Steps
join gym, aerobics, swimming, practice mindfulness, reduced caffeinated drinks, no smoke & no drinks, these things will help you if you want to be free from anxiety with out medicines ( life style modifications)
Health Tips
no harm in taking medicine off and on.
thank you.

5 mg is too low a dose for your problem...Take at least 10 mg ..
Secondly, once symptoms are under control with medicine, psychotherapy will help a lot..
Next Steps
increase dosage of medicine
