I'm feeling a bit stuck and could really use some advice. I've been dealing with anxiety for around nine months and have been on medication, gradually reducing the doses as my doctor advised. Everything was going okay until I had a panic attack ten days ago. My doctor then prescribed etizola beta 0.25 mg for ten daysdouble dose for the first five, then single. After switching to the single dose, I was handling the withdrawal symptoms fine, but for the last two days, I've needed to take my dose in the morning instead of the evening because the symptoms get worse then. I'm not sure if I should increase my dose? I'm in the process of changing doctors, and the new one won't be available until Monday, so I'm kind of in a bind for the next couple of days. What should I do?

It is not recommended to increase the dose of etizola beta 0.25 mg without consulting a healthcare professional. However, if your symptoms are worsening in the morning, you can try taking an additional half dose (0.125 mg) in the morning to help manage your symptoms until you can see your new doctor on Monday. Remember to stick to the prescribed total daily dose and do not exceed the maximum recommended dosage. If you experience any severe or concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention immediately.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with depression symptoms for three months now and I've noticed that when I dont take my medication, I end up with a headache. I was on nexito forte and lesuride for the past month but my doctor switched my lesuride dose to sulpitac 50. To be honest, I really dont want to rely on medication. Can you tell me how long I'll need to keep taking these meds?
before starting of the medicines it is better to take advice from the consultant
