I've been taking Clonazepam .25mg every day for the last 20 days, and I'm wondering what's the best way to taper off it safely? Also, how long will it stay in my system once I stop taking it? I'm really concerned about doing this the right way and would love your guidance.

Possible Causes*
- Intestinal Parasitic Infection: The presence of worms in your stool suggests an intestinal parasitic infection, such as pinworms, hookworms, or roundworms.

Recommendations
- Consult a Healthcare Professional: Schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist or primary care physician to discuss your symptoms and determine the underlying cause.
- Stool Tests: Your healthcare provider may order stool tests to confirm the presence of intestinal parasites and identify the type of parasite.
- Treatment: Depending on the diagnosis, your healthcare provider may prescribe medications to treat the intestinal parasitic infection.
- Practice Good Hygiene: To prevent the spread of infection and alleviate anal itching:
- Wash your hands regularly, especially after using the bathroom.

View allI'm wondering if my blood pressure readings like 120125 over 6065 are considered normal. I've been having some health and heart anxiety. I went to a cardiologist, and everything like the echo and ECG came back normal, but they still prescribed me Ciplar, Stalopalm, and Trinerve. Are these medications actually for anxiety? Also, since I'm relatively young, I'm curious if I can manage this anxiety with yoga and meditation instead of medication. My resting heart rate usually stays around 55 to 60. Could you give me some advice?
The medications prescribed to you, Ciplar (propranolol), Stalopam (escitalopram), and Trinerve (multivitamin supplement), indicate that your doctor may have prescribed them for anxiety and to support your overall health. Propranolol is commonly used to treat anxiety symptoms by reducing heart rate and blood pressure. While yoga and meditation can be helpful in managing anxiety, it is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication. If you wish to explore non-pharmacological methods, you can incorporate yoga and meditation into your daily routine alongside your prescribed treatment. It's essential to discuss any changes or concerns with your doctor before making adjustments to your treatment plan.
