Hi, I can understand your concern regarding your condition. You seem to be having anxiety disorder resulting in your fears. It's good to note that you are already on treatment and have responded favorably to it. Now, Next plus is a combination of two medicines, Escitalopram 5 mg and clonazepam 0.5 mg. Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and an effective Chat Doctor. However, since you have only responded partially, I feel the dose can be increased. The effective dose will be 10 mg/day and the maximum can be increased up to 20 mg/day depending on your response. I would also recommend that clonazepam should e tapered off, as long term benzodiazepine use will make it difficult to taper it off and can create dependence. You can discuss regarding these with your psychiatrist. In addition, you should also start exercising daily as that will help you relax. Relaxation exercises like deep breathing and progressive muscular relaxation will also be helpful. With proper treatment, I am sure you manage to do well. Wish you a speedy recovery and a great married life ahead. Best wishes.
