I have been suffering from panic attacks lately and apart from taking sedoxil o.5 mg in the morning , the psychiatrist prescirbed fluanxol 1.5mg . I have been having bad effects with fluanxol so he decided to change the fluanxol to valdoxan. Any reviews pls ?

No-one here can really recommend what medications you should take or if you should change fully to one of these medications. Only your Mental Health Team can assist in making that decision.
The problem we can have is medication have different effects on different folks, we are all very different and some people will suffer from one drug, that will be fantastic for you.
Depending on how long you have been on above medications, take into consideration how you feel and allow yourself around five weeks to get used to your treatment and medications. Your GP may wish to see you in around four weeks and decide and confirm treatment. Follow your Teams recommendations.

I know that people respond to treatment differently but since i never heard of valdoxan i wanted to share this ..
And BDW The psychiatrist prescirbed my medications and wasnt looking for someone to recommend me something else . Just i wanted to check if there were any unusual side effects i need to take care of .....

If you are worried regards side effects look in the box that came with the drug there should be an instruction sheet explaining the drug and side effects. Also if you suffer contraindications the leaflet will explain if any action needs to be taken when any problems arise.
If the instruction sheet is not there, Go onto the NHS CHOICES SITE on the internet, go on the ABC of drug types and look up your medication and you should get an explanation regards your medications there
