View allI've been feeling short of breath sometimes, and my doctor said it's due to anxiety. He put me on Doxolin tablets, which I take twice a day. I'm curious if taking Doxolin is really necessary or beneficial since the breathlessness is because of anxiety, and not an actual respiratory issue. Is it common to use Doxolin in cases like this? Could it have any side effects I should be aware of?
Doxolin, likely a variant of Doxepin, is an antidepressant and anxiolytic, which can help alleviate anxiety-related shortness of breath; taking Doxolin tablets as prescribed by your doctor should help manage your anxiety symptoms, including shortness of breath, without significant side effects, but monitor your breathing, mood, and overall well-being

I've been taking Dedep Plus tablets from my psychiatrist for about a month. The doctor suggested I take them for 20 days and come back for a follow-up, but I haven't gone back yet and I'm still continuing with the tablets. Should I be worried about any health problems from taking them longer than prescribed? Also, I've been managing Type 2 diabetes for over a year and I'm on Atorlip 10mg too. Could this combined use affect my health?
Continuing Dedep Plus tablets beyond the prescribed 20 days without consulting your psychiatrist can lead to adverse effects, such as increased risk of suicidal thoughts, serotonin syndrome, or interactions with your diabetes medication or Atorlip 10mg; additionally, antidepressants like Dedep Plus can affect blood sugar levels, so it's crucial to consult your psychiatrist and diabetic specialist to adjust your treatment plan and ensure safe management of your conditions.
