I'm suffering from Anxiety from previous trauma
Female | 34
Dealing with anxiety issues due to past experiences can be challenging, but there is a big community of people out there who are also experiencing this. Symptoms include feeling worried, tense, or having trouble sleeping. Such incidents as accidents or loss can be used as examples of trauma that can cause this. To feel better, therapy can be very efficient. Expressing your emotions and learning to deal with problems might really turn you into an oaring ship. Relaxation techniques and exercise can also be some other means of mental quiescence precursor. Hang in there, you can get through this.

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 am 46 and have depression. I need sessions of deep transmagnetic stimulation. How much cost? Can I come tomorrow?
Female | 46
Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a treatment for depression that is safe. Costs may differ from one clinic to another, but luckily, some insurance that partner with the clinics offers the treatment. It's smart to check it with the clinic. These may be found in depression itself, such as low moods, loss of interest, and unusual changes in appetite and sleep. TMS is a way of stimulating the brain by sending magnetic pulses. Naturally, it is required to fix a meeting for TMS during which you are free so that we can talk during that time, but we can shift your appointment for you as soon as it is convenient.

Female | 22
Your fear of being judged, rejected, and overthinking can be symptoms of anxiety. The head injury that you had in your adolescent period may also be linked to your headaches and memory issues now. Of course, speaking with a mental health professional is the best way to get help, but you also might want to see a neurologist for your head injury.

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.

Male | 49
These symptoms can be the result of chemical overload in the brain. The medication (etolozom. 25 tablets) prescribed to you might not be sufficient to improve concerns. You must talk to your doctor about other possible approaches or changes to your medication so that you can achieve better health.

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.

"I ingested 50 mg of amitriptyline all at once on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 1 pm. It has been more than 48 hours since the ingestion, and I haven't experienced any severe symptoms. After taking the medication, I slept for almost around 24 hours. I also have IBS, and I'm concerned about any potential long-term effects or complications related to the overdose. Am I now in the safe zone? When would it be safe to resume my prescribed amitriptyline dose of 10 mg twice a day? Should I undergo any tests or monitoring before resuming the medication, or would it be safe to wait for a week and then restart my regular dose?"
Female | 23
Glad to know that you have not been experiencing any severe symptoms after taking 50 mg of amitriptyline. The fact that you slept for a long time could be a side effect of the medication. If you're feeling alright now and the time gone is more than two days there's probably nothing serious about it. Whatever the case, you should stay off your usual dosage of 10 mg twice a day for a week first. The best thing to do is to see a doctor if you experience any peculiar signs during that period.

Hi doc. How dangerous is mixing overdose valium 300mg zolpidem 300 dormicum 300 klonpin 60mg with alcohol
Male | 32
A combination of Valium, Zolpidem, Dormicum, Klonopin, and alcohol with an overdose is highly risky. It causes severe bodily damage due to the high doses. Symptoms like lightheadedness, bewilderment, and even coma, may appear as the respiratory rate starts to decrease. This synthesis can be the most harmful since it targets the brain and the heart breathing. If you or another person has overdosed, immediately find someone to lend a hand.

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.
