Nexito Forte contains escitalopram and clonazepam. Because you have been taking it daily for a year, you should never stop this medication abruptly. Doing so can trigger severe withdrawal symptoms like rebound anxiety, insomnia, and irritability, particularly due to the clonazepam component which can cause dependency. You can safely stop only under the direct supervision of your prescribing doctor. They will evaluate if your anxiety is fully stable and design a gradual tapering schedule to slowly lower your dose over several weeks. Please consult your doctor before making any changes.
