### input:
I was prescribed clomipramine three years following a nervous breakdown that left me unable to sleep more than a couple of hours a night, at best. It worked so well that after being on the drug for three years the doctor I was seeing decide to take me off it. Following a long taper, I went about two weeks free of the drug before relapsing. Reintroduction of clomipramine proved ineffective. I have tried over 40 different medications over the span of 20 years without finding any lasting success. I have a bad anxiety problem that seems to be totally unrelated to my day to day existence. Did I make a mistake by going on medication in the first place? Should I just throw in the towel on meds? They don t work anyway, and I ve tried just about all possible meds for sleep and anxiety.

I definitely am sure you did a good thing by consulting a psychiatrist and started taking medicines for your panic attacks. Don't worry about it. Relapse should be due to mismanagement of the anxiety problem. You should know that these problems are not mental diseases, but are mental disorders. Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Exercise, Lifestyle changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc. are as essential as medicines.
