Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan

Psychiatrist

Sleep problems are often caused by underlying physical and/ or psychological cause. This requires examination of the patient so that proper treatment can be initiated. Often stress/ anxiety/ depression or mood disorder needs to be dealt with and sleeping pills are not adequate treatment. Nexito is an antidepressant and a good one. Treatment of depression and anxiety includes adequate dose of Medi and psychotherapy so the focus needs to be on exploring mood symptoms and not just helping with sleep.

Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan

Psychiatrist

You are receiving medicines for anxiety disorder. Based in your clinical history, your doctor plans the type of medicine and it's dose and duration. For first episode of anxiety/ depression/ panic, the usual maintenance phase is 6 months of asymptomatic period, after which medicines can be gradually tapered. But treatment may need to continue longer depending on severity and frequency of episodes. To take any decision to change medication or stop them, several factors have to be taken in account for which regular follow up with your psychiatrist is important. For second opinion, seek a proper consultation with another psychiatrist and take along your previous prescriptions.

Q. How long does Duvanta take to work?

In people with depression and anxiety, Duvanta mostly starts working within two weeks of treatment. However, you may take 2-4 weeks to feel better.

Consult your doctor if you do not feel better after 2 months.

Q. If I start feeling better, can I stop taking Duvanta?

No, you should not stop Duvanta suddenly and without consulting your doctor. In cases of depression and anxiety, if you have been feeling better for 6 months or more, your doctor may reduce your doses gradually. In case of pain and incontinence, if you are feeling better, continue taking it for long term. Your doctor will keep monitoring your response to the medicine every few months.

Always consult your doctor before you stop taking Duvanta. Your doctor will reduce the dose gradually.
