My doctor had prescribed flurazepam 30 mg and nortriptyline 25 mg have been on both for depession, anxiety and insomnia. These stop working for my insomnia and my nerves are all over the place. I have only been on these medications for a little over 3 months. I met with him yesterday and he wants me to just stop the flurazepam 30 mg with no reduction and start cymbalta 30mg. As far as the nortriptyline 25 mg take one every other day for 6 days and then stop. He also added the generic lunesta 3 mg for sleep. I have only been sleeping about 3 hrs. a night and stoping these medication so abruptly have me concerned, since I had such severe withdrawals symptoms coming off remeron after only taking that for a little over 2 months, had to stop taking remeron because it caused mouth sores. Do you have any advice?
Hi, Thanks for asking your query at this forum. We understand your concern. I have read your question carefully and understood it. I will try my best to answer it. As you told that you are suffering from depression, anxiety and insomnia, and recently you have been taking Tab Lorazepam and Nortriptyline for last 03 months. Lorazepam is a good anxiolytic and sedative, hence produce relaxation and sound sleep. I must educate you that Lorazepam is an addictive Chat Doctor.  It is prescribed for initial few days and should be discontinued over a period of next few days.  If a person continues to use this
