Your prescribed medications are used to alleviate the symptoms of anxiety neurosis and insomnia. The correctness of the regimen can only be assessed by a doctor on the basis of your full medical history and, for example, tolerance of previously recommended preparations. If you have any doubts about the recommended treatment, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. You can also take advantage of teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

Due to the mechanism of action of the preparations, at the beginning of therapy it is possible to intensify the symptoms of the disease and temporary deterioration of well-being, which we wrote about, for example, in the opinion:

There may be an interaction between the recommended drugs Asentra and Trazodone, which we wrote about m.in. in the opinion:
However, it should be remembered that any medicine used may cause side effects, which are described in the package leaflets. This does not mean that every patient will experience them. You can read about whether to be afraid of side effects in the article:

Strict adherence to the doctor's recommendations, including doses and intervals between preparations, helps to maintain the safety and effectiveness of the therapy.
If you do not feel any improvement after at least 2-3 weeks of regular use of medication, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. It may be necessary to suggest a different treatment. Also, in the event of alarming symptoms, such as fever, high blood pressure, convulsions, hallucinations, chills, sweating, impaired coordination of movements, a doctor should be urgently consulted.
It is worth implementing lifestyle modifications into the recommended pharmacotherapy. It may be helpful, for example, to find a relaxing activity, limit stress stimuli, and maintain proper sleep hygiene.
