What are the long-term effects of treatment for anxiety disorders? I have been using it for more than 3 months, I am afraid to ask the doctor who is treating me, so I hope you can give me an answer. Thank you.

Hello Minh Thang.
With the description, I have an anxiety disorder, the drugs I use have anti-depressant and anxiolytic effects. The dose of the drug is relatively high, the use time has also been 3 months, you must have read the instruction sheet, which also warned many side effects of anxiety disorder drugs.
The occurrence of side effects depends on each patient, it is best to ask the treating doctor directly so they can explain each case specifically, warn you for early detection and specific treatment.
Therefore, if there is any effect on the long-term use of medication for anxiety disorders, you should discuss directly with the doctor treating you and thereby also help the doctor understand the effectiveness and your experience. are treating the patient.
Thank you for sending your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
