View allI've been feeling pretty anxious for the past couple of weeks, and my doctor put me on Trika 0.25 along with some meds for GERD and throat issues. I've only taken it for two days, but I'm noticing dizziness, giddiness, and mild weakness during the day. Should I stop taking Trika 0.25 mg, or if I should keep going, could you let me know for how long?
Yes discontinue as soon as possible. It has many side effects like dizziness, weakness, fatigue body Giddiness etc

I'm really worried about my partner. She struggles with anxiety and often ends up crying when she's home alone. It's tough because I'm at the office most days. She's just not in a good place right now. Any advice on what steps I should take to help her?
She is experiencing symptoms of anxiety and feeling overwhelmed when alone at home. I recommend she take **Xanax (alprazolam)** at a low dose of 0.25mg to help manage her anxiety symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
