AOA ....I am having pentaxol-m around 11 months for anxiety, I am okay now, and still I take it daily one at night. I have one problem, I sleep much, 11 hours daily, I can't get up easily even sleeping 9 hours. Please suggest anything.
Do Exercise and lot of water
Dear Cleint, thanks for approaching Marham plate form with regards to your problem. There are a number of things to consider, First who prescribed this medicine? To the best of my knowledge Psychiatrist or General Physician as in our capacity as Psychologist or counsellors we can’t prescribe any medication to deal with anxiety or depression. Second thing is better you consult same Doctor who prescribed as he or she knows your medical history well and the reasons why it was prescribed. Only they can tell you if it is the medicine which is causing you drowsiness and sleep. Thirdly, start working with some Psychologists who guide you how to decrease anxiety using therapeutic interventions and decrease your reliance on medicine. In the long run, therapy is the best solution in the long run than medicine. Hope it helps. Good luck.

Waalikumasalam... It may be due to medicine consult your psychiatrist.
dose adjustment is required to tapper the dose..take appointment for that
Pentaxol Lena chor den take only proper diet and exercise
W.s deatiled medical and psychiatric history is required plz consult your physician or psychiatrist
In excessive sleepiness it might be hypersomnia but don't worry you can take session from a therapist.
Any reasons for anxiety ?
Please resolve by sharing with a psychologist.
Because if still not able to get up it means some thoughts are still bothering unconsciously.
Take care
Waalaikumsalam! Hope you were not self medicating. Better consult your previous Doctor Who prescribed this medicine because sometimes Dose needs to be adjusted or new medicine needs to be prescribed.
Regards..
Do exercies and walk
