My medical journal - About escitalopram - dose reduced 5mg

In this blog I have earlier mentioned about the antidepressant tablet that I am taking since 2013. Recently I tried to slowly reduce the dose myself. I had been taking Nexito 30 mg (20 after lunch and 10 after dinner) for long time. 

The decision I took to reduce the dose cause I had been sweating unnaturally. After I reduced 5mg the sweating problem gone within a week. 

But I didn't stop reducing the dose after 5mg. After few weeks I reduced another 5mg and started taking 20mg. I didn't notice any change for few days but after that I started having digestion problem and loose motion that I couldn't control with medicines. So I again moved to 25mg. 

I was buying Nexito 20 tablets from 1mg website via paytm. I was getting some discounts sometimes. 

This type of antidepressant tablets must be prescribed by a doctor because without prescription it isn't allowed to sold from a medicine store. Similarly In 1mg also I had to upload my prescription. I have uploaded my prescription in gdrive so that I can use it whenever needed. It is difficult to carry physical prescription always with me.

I was taking a whole tablet after lunch and a half equally broken tablet at night after dinner.

But as I am taking 25mg so I ordered Nexito 10mg 6 strips and Nexito 5mg 3 strips. So I don't have to break the tablet in half or a quarter. 

I have earlier felt some differences in two nexito 10mg vs one nexito 20mg. Though I am not so sure about it. If I find any difference then I will mention it.

Places where we need improvement

Train was 1h 33m late. I was carrying a pram in one hand and 2 bags in other when there was another side bag that was hanging from my solder. My wife Rinky was carrying our 6 month old baby Ridhaan and a ladies side bag.  Our compartment no was D1. At first I thought it will be in the front part of the train but later discovered that the compartment was at the end part.  I found it little difficult to walk faster with the luggage. My wife was walking in front of me at little distance.  When we reached almost the end, train started moving.  I told my wife to board in the train whatever coach it was. And I myself entered into the nearest coach. With the pram and luggage it was very difficult to enter through the gate.  Passengers who were standing at the gate didn't bother helping me with the luggage. Even didn't make me way to enter easily.  My wife also struggled to enter the running train with her hand bag and the baby. My wife told me that if she wasn't h...

 Today you put your shoes on by yourself. Though both in wrong legs. Also you went to pee at the bathroom but peed in your paint. When I went to house for lunch then I left my bag in the varanda but you took my bag inside the room. During lunch you sat on my lap.  After my lunch when I was about to leave for office then you did tata to me and when I asked you to bring my bag then you brought it. Also you tried to open the gate so that I can go out.  Then you climbed the gate as I didn't let you out with me. Yes, you did all these and you are only 16 months old.

Later, I discovered that it was due to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) . During this time, I usually increase the dosage of Nexito medicine to balance my mood. This year, I followed the same approach, but it did not yield better results. Therefore, I decided to do some research using ChatGPT and found some helpful solutions. When I applied these strategies to my daily life, I noticed an instant improvement.
