Is it normal to experience constant severe tiredness, weakness, and body aches after taking Stalopam Lite and escitalopram 5mg for a month and a half, and should I continue to gradually reduce my dose as my doctor recommended?

Feeling tired, weak, or having body aches can happen when taking or tapering medications like Stalopam Lite and escitalopram. Since your body is adjusting, these sensations are not uncommon. It is very important to follow your doctor?s advice regarding gradually reducing your dose, as stopping too quickly can make these symptoms worse. Please contact your doctor to let them know how you are feeling; they can support you through this transition and ensure you are tapering safely and comfortably.

I am taking antidepressant medicines such as Stalopam Lite and Librium. I also drink about 180 ml of whisky daily. I have weak digestion, sexual weakness, and masturbate frequently. Please suggest how I can improve my overall health and overcome alcohol dependence.
Taking antidepressant medicines such as Stalopam Lite and Librium along with daily alcohol consumption can affect both physical and mental health. Alcohol can reduce the effectiveness of these medicines and may worsen anxiety, depression, sleep problems, digestive issues, tiredness, and sexual difficulties over time. Drinking around 180 ml of whisky daily can also irritate the stomach, weaken appetite and digestion, and increase the risk of liver and nerve-related problems. The good news is that many of these symptoms improve gradually once alcohol intake is reduced and overall health habits improve. Try not to stop alcohol suddenly on your own if you have been drinking regularly for a long time, because withdrawal symptoms can occur. It is safer to consult a psychiatrist, physician, or de-addiction specialist who can guide you with a proper treatment plan, counselling, and medicines if needed. Eating regular healthy meals, drinking enough water, sleeping on time, exercising daily, and reducing stress can help improve energy, digestion, and sexual health. Frequent masturbation by itself usually does not cause permanent weakness, but stress, anxiety, guilt, poor sleep, depression, and alcohol dependence can affect sexual confidence and performance. Avoid smoking, excessive pornography, and late-night habits if possible, and focus on improving your physical and mental health gradually. Continue your prescribed medicines only under medical supervision and avoid mixing alcohol with them. With proper treatment, support, and lifestyle changes, many people are able to recover well from alcohol dependence and regain better physical and emotional health over time.
