Hello, my name is Mathilda I am 22 years old. I just wanted to know, I took 3 quietapine of 200mg, 3 xanax 1mg and 2 stilnox 10mg and 2x 30mg mirtazapine. Am I at risk?
Female | 22
Taking several drugs together can involve serious risks. Those medications can have critical impacts on your physique as they interact. Some signs you might face are dizziness, confusion, slow breathing, and even blacking out. It is important to get help right away by either calling the emergency services or going to the nearest hospital. The medications are mixed, and they can be life-threatening. Therefore, you should get medical assistance at once.

Male | 48
A burning head and shivering is hard. These signs may come from your meds. Some pills can make muscles stiff and make you shake. Tell your doctor about these troubles - they might change your medicine to help. It's key to report new issues while on medication.

I feel like something is wrong with me , my mind wanders a lot and when it wanders i feel like i need to move and run and i do it unconsciously its like you run and jump in a dancing kind of way with your head leaning to oneside , can you tell me whats wrong ?
Female | 19
You may have a condition called restless legs syndrome (RLS). RLS sometimes makes you feel your body is moving and dancing with no control, especially when you daydream. Such an issue could arise, and the suer will feel that their legs or other body parts should always be in motion. RLS can happen if you have a low iron level issue, but it can be one of the symptoms of other medical conditions, so it is advisable to see a psychiatrist to get the correct diagnosis and prescription.

I had drug induced psychosis how can I know if it’s only drug induced psychosis or if it’s like schizophrenia or something
Male | 22
A psychiatrist’s consult needs to make a determination whether your psychosis is substance abused induced or if it may signify a more serious mental illness, like schizophrenia. A psychiatrist can conduct a comprehensive assessment and steer you in the right direction for treatment. I suggest that you see a psychiatrist who specializes in psychotic disorders.

I have an issue where I stand up from getting out of a car outside and I get a like a pressure that starts in my throat and my heart rate increases pretty fast it only lasts a few seconds and it doesn’t happen Everytime mainly when I’m outside I suffer from extreme anxiety and have gas problems And heart related anxiety I have already had a doctor listen to my heart and he said it’s extremely healthy but I’m worried they miss something.
Male | 17
Perhaps you face panic attack signs due to anxiety and stress. When anxious, our bodies can have increased pulse, throat tightness, and gas issues. Take deep breaths, drink water, relax to handle it. Additionally, therapy may help you address your anxiety. Visit a psychiatrist.

I’m 24 yr having anxiety and feeling low pls tell how to treat it
Female | 24
Being upset and worried is hard to bear. These emotions are largely due to stress or life changes attributed to many causes. Some of the signs are constant worrying, being afraid, or a disturbed sleep schedule. So, talk to a person, like a friend, or a family member. After that, engaging yourself in activities you prefer and getting enough sleep can help.

I want to be strong in life need help from you
Female | 21
Mental pressure, depression, trust issues, and childhood trauma can make it very difficult for a person to go through life. Symptoms can be sadness, anxiety, insomnia, and loss of appetite. These emotions may be triggered due to some past experiences and stress. Speaking with a therapist or psychiatrist about your feelings and developing coping strategies is crucial to get stronger and be more resilient when dealing with problems.

I am 15 years old, I drank an energy drink at 4pm with 200mg of caffeine. I have never had an energy drink before, I was normal until now at 9pm and I feel jittery anxious and on edge and my chest kind of hurts but I don’t know if it is just the anxiety or what. Please help me is this normal.
Female | 15
A high-energy beverage containing a lot of caffeine might be responsible for your current state. You know, caffeine can make some people feel nervous and jumpy or even give them a tight chest. The deal is that caffeine is a drug; it stimulates the body. To get well, you need to take water, calm down, and don't touch anything containing caffeine.

It is important to bear in mind that reduced energy, as well as poor concentration, are often signs of an underlying medical illness. I suggest visiting a psychiatrist who can take an accurate diagnosis.

I have not depression but it came into my mind 24hrs that I have depression
Female | 22
Depression brings exhaustion, loss of pleasure, changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. Factors like genetics, life challenges, and imbalances in brain chemistry can contribute to depression. Therapy offers tools, medication stabilizes brain chemistry, and lifestyle changes can help adjust your path. Confiding in trusted individuals and seeking guidance from a psychiatrist are essential steps toward recovery.

Can I take fermented vitamin b12 supplements as I am treating with antidepressants
Female | 43
Vitamin B12 supplements from fermented sources usually don't interact badly with antidepressants. B12 is vital for nerve functions and making energy in your body. If you feel exhausted, weak, or have nerve issues, a B12 supplement could help. But always consult your doctor before taking new supplements to ensure they suit your needs.

Male | 19
Overthinking can make concentrating super hard. You might feel anxious or stressed too. With all those thoughts swirling around, it's no wonder you get overwhelmed sometimes! But don't worry, there are ways to chill out. Try taking deep breaths, meditating, or chatting with a psychiatrist.

I was wondering if I might have something such as DID, as I have been experiencing some symptoms. 1: I have auditory hallucinatons from time to time, like people talking, or whispering my name. 2: I cannot remeber most of my childhood at all. 3: I also talk to myself a lot, like I am a different person. 4: I have visual hallucinations sometimes, like shadows in the corner of my eye 5: Also have trouble focusing sometimes 6: very impulsive sometimes 7: I also daydream alot, and usually for 30 minutes + I and my sister was verbally abused from 2016 to 2022. It stopped in 2022 because I pointed it out. My ‘alters’ aren’t so complicated they are just different aspects of myself really. Most of the time to the extreme though. Like one is me but angry, sad, etc. Once I had a bit of a dissociative fugue, when I kind of just fazed out on the bus and I came to, on the bus but at a different point in the road, and I had no memory of what had happened.

Based on the symptoms, your problem may be Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Consulting with an experienced psychiatrist or clinical psychologist, especially in the field of DID, is crucial in diagnosing and planning personalized treatment.

It's important to address your sleep and mental health concerns with a specialist like a psychiatrist. They can offer guidance and recommend suitable treatments, which may include therapies or medications tailored to your specific needs. Seeking professional help is key to managing sleep disturbances and emotional challenges effectively.

I feel sleepy all the time but then also I don't want to sleep.
Male | 21
Often, a constant feeling of tiredness yet not wanting to sleep signals sleep issues or irregular routine. Perhaps insufficient rest or poor sleep patterns occur. Stress, excessive screen time, or inadequate exercise contribute. Establish a regular sleep schedule. Limit caffeine and sugar intake and wind down before bed.

I m 14 year having no interest in studies forgot what learned
Male | 14
Teenagers often may not like some kinds of studying because it seems they have no interest in some subjects. It's similar to our emotions can be weakened or lost by outside forces such as being overwhelmed, demotivated, or distracted. Forgetting what you have learned can indicate that you are stressed or overwhelmed with many things in your head. You need to find time to unwind, practice self-discipline, and communicate your needs to someone if this happens to you. Appreciate that being involved in your studies is important but take time to relax and take care of yourself by knowing that it's okay to need help from others whenever you are in trouble.

I am 16 year old boy and having mental and physical weakness in body. I masturbate a daily one time from 8 month. I don't like to talk with people nor even feel like connection with anyone. My sleep cycle is heavily disturbed that's why I sleep in day and awaken all night even though I don't want to do this.
Male | 16
Masturbating daily is normal but feeling weak and disconnected isn't. Lack of energy and disturbed sleep can be linked to many causes, like stress or depression. I recommend talking to someone you trust, like a parent or a school counselor, to get some help and support.
