I'm dealing with anxiety and panic attacks, especially when the phone rings out of the blue. It really freaks me out. My doctor gave me an antidepressant called Mitocent 30 mg to help with this. I'm a bit worried about any long-term side effects I might face if I keep taking it. Also, how long am I supposed to stay on this medication? I'd really appreciate any advice on how to handle this situation.

Mitocent (30mg) is an antidepressant commonly prescribed for anxiety, and while it can be effective in managing symptoms, long-term use may have potential side effects like weight gain or changes in sleep patterns. It's important to follow your doctor's guidance on the duration, and alongside medication, practicing relaxation techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can significantly help in managing anxiety and panic attacks.
