Hello,
Cipralex is a antidepressant and clonotril is a benzodiazepine to calm and help in sleep. Do not stop medication. Cipralex need to be continued for adequate time period. Clonotril can be tapered down if required. Psychoeducate yourself about illness and medication from your treating psychiatrist.
