Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on medication for schizophrenia for the last two months. Initially, she was taking 1 Trinicalm Plus and 1 Topirol 50 in the morning, and 1 Trinicalm Plus at night. They upped her dose after two weeks to 1 Trinicalm Plus and 1 Topirol 50 in the morning, and 2 Trinicalm Pluses at night. Now they're saying she needs 2 Trinicalm Pluses and 1 Topirol 50 in the morning, and 2 Trinicalm Pluses with 1 Topirol 50 at night. I'm concerned because she's also dealing with obesity and high blood pressure. Does this sound okay to you?
