Can I have Warm Milk and Antidepressants together?
Can i take warm milk at night as I am taking antidepredsants
Psychiatrist
Answered on 25th July '24
Drinking warm milk before sleeping is usually okay for people taking antidepressant medicines. Milk has tryptophan, a substance that helps make serotonin. Serotonin is a chemical that aids sleep. However, some individuals may get stomach problems or gas from warm milk. If you don't experience these issues, a glass of warm milk at night is generally fine. Ensure it doesn't interact badly with your medications.

im concerned about my mental health
Female | 16
If you are unhappy, anxious, or angry most of the time; struggle to focus, or no longer find pleasure in activities you once enjoyed, then it might be helpful for you to know that these are symptoms of a possible mental health problem. If you want to feel better, consider talking it out with someone who you trust – this helps more than keeping everything bottled up inside which only makes matters worse over time. You could also try some relaxation exercises like deep breathing techniques or mindfulness meditation; keeping busy through physical exercises such as jogging or swimming may help too – not forgetting to seek professional help/guidance from a counselor/therapist.

It's important to take care of your mental health, especially with the responsibilities you have as a parent. Continue taking your prescribed medication, but also consider speaking with a psychiatrist or a psychologist to explore therapy options that might help you manage your depression and anxiety better. Regular follow-ups with a psychiatrist are crucial for your well-being.

Male | 34
Anxiety, depression, and stress make life difficult. Feeling worried, sad, overwhelmed - it's common but important to take care. Doctors prescribe antidepressants, and anti-anxiety medicines; they assist. Talking helps too; chat with someone you trust or a therapist. Self-care matters; be kind to yourself.

I am suffering from OCD from last five years and I changed doctor, medicine everything but I didn't see any difference yet now I got very depressed and my anxiety level increases day by day so what is the solution?
Female | 17
OCD, or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, can be very challenging to manage. It often causes anxiety and makes it hard to make decisions, disrupting daily life. While changing doctors and medications can help, open communication with your current doctor is essential. Be honest about trying new treatment approaches; they may suggest options like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which has proven effective in managing OCD symptoms. Many people have faced similar struggles and learned to live with OCD, so remember, it is possible to cope. If you need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to your psychiatrist.

I want to stop antidepressants medicine
Female | 35
Always consult your doctor before stopping antidepressants....Abrupt cessation can cause withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms may include DIZZINESS, nausea, and anxiety....Tapering off slowly is recommended. Your doctor can help you develop a tapering schedule....Stopping abruptly can lead to relapse....Relapse may cause a worsening of symptoms....Withdrawal symptoms can also occur with tapering..But tapering can help minimize the severity of symptoms....Regular monitoring by your doctor is important..........

I am 36 years old, doing night shift work tobearn money from last few years,pure veg,no egg ,no fish non drinker non smoker, unable to sleep properly and some time anxiety occurs.
Male | 36
This might be that the night shifts have disturbed your body's internal clock, which can lead to sleeplessness. The lack of sleep can also be a contributing factor to anxiety. Try to make a sleep schedule and stick to it, avoid caffeine and screens before bed, and relax your mind with deep breathing or gentle music before going to sleep.

Breakup is bringing you grief and loneliness. It's what happens to most people, and it is quite common. It might trigger your mind, making you think everything is going wrong. You may feel disinterested in conversations with girls or in some activities you used to like. This is what is called depression. Speaking with a psychiatrist about your feelings is important. They can assist you in lifting your spirit and staying by your side.

15 male.is it okay to enjoy mastrabating in public. I don’t do it in front of people but it’s very arousing. Should i be concerned about this?
Male | 15
Engaging in self-pleasure in public areas is not socially acceptable. This conduct may indicate a psychological condition known as exhibitionism, where one derives arousal from exposing oneself publicly. Comprehending that such behavior is legally prohibited and can result in severe repercussions is crucial. Seeking a psychiatrist is advisable to address these urges and explore healthier coping mechanisms.

my mom is sick and very cold skin she is talking in her sleep to her dead mother and mumbling her teeth are clinking fast she can’t even eat
Female | 55
It seems that your mother is showing signs of a severe condition called sepsis. This occurs when the body overreacts to an infection and causes harm. The cold skin, rapid teeth chattering, and speaking with her deceased mother could indicate that she is extremely ill. Immediate medical attention is necessary to help her body fight off the infection and recover.

My friend suffering from following problem 1 if family member not talking politely or net & clean way then she crying too much 2. After that talking with herself ( I am positive, everyone talking with me polite, all is well, ok etc) 3.crying too much, closes her eye, sleeping on floor, pain in her left side chest, stomach sounding very fast like gad gad, plam light bluish
Female | 26
Your friend is having a hard time dealing with stress and experiencing emotional troubles, which in turn, are causing physical problems. She might be crying, talking to herself, and feeling a sharp pain in her chest, which is a clear indication of stress and anxiety. The noises in the stomach and blueish palms may be the first signs of a high pulse rate and lack of normal blood circulation. Advice her to speak to someone she trusts and make deep breathing a habit, and have her try relaxation techniques to minimize stress.

Male | 25
You might have been through a lot of psychological stress and these might be some of the reasons why your physical health, such as having difficulties in getting erections, is also being affected. The technique you talked about seems to center on anxiety and depression, which can be further aggravated by traumatic past experiences or problems in a relationship. Delving into the issues with the help of a psychiatrist is the best way to cope with mental health issues.

I'm 21 years old and I feel so low and sometimes I feel very stressed and after stressing about thing I fell difficulty in sleeping I did a online depression test and it shows like I have high depression
Female | 21
Being sad and stressed out at your age is a hard situation, but you're not the only one feeling that way. Being sad, nervous, tired, and having difficulty sleeping are among the indicators of depression. Tension can make these experiences even more burdensome. Possible reasons for this could be genes, stress, or life events. Things that can help you improve your mood are talking to a psychiatrist, playing sports, and spending your free time with activities that make you happy.

It seems like anxiety may be the cause. Feeling nervous or troubled happens. Your breathing gets tough. Anxiety arises from stress. Or it could stem from genes. Some medical issues can lead to it too. But you can manage through techniques like relaxation. Regular exercise helps.

Male | 45
It can also be triggered by different aspects like stress, and boredom, or it might be just a custom factor. To get over it this, try imposing some limits like sticking to certain times of the day to spend in front of the television, discovering other hobbies or activities that will mean a busy mind, or enlisting the help of friends or a therapist who can work with you through these moments and to the source why you choose porn.

You seem to be showing some signs of dissociative identity disorder (DID), which is also called multiple personality disorder. These people might have several identities or alters that influence their behavior and they might not know about it. Usually, it happens due to severe trauma in the past. Therapy – especially cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) – can assist you in comprehending and managing these different personalities for a better life.
