Can't sleep in 3 days, need help?
I can't sleep within 3 days
Psychiatrist
Answered on 1st Jan '25
People who are anxious or stressed out by something are more likely to suffer from some common sleep disorders. Drowsiness and inability to concentrate are common signs. To make things better, let's work on your calming-down technique by setting a routine to put yourself at ease before bed, and not using screens before bed so you can be in a state of peace. Being in an ideal environment is also important. If this doesn't help you can visit a therapist.

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.

Just a short question, important. Why am I very restlessness
Male | 18
This feeling of restlessness may be induced by different factors, including anxiety, stress, caffeine use, side effects of medications, or an underlying medical problem. In case the condition persists for an extended time or disrupts normal daily living, one should make an appointment with a general practitioner or see a psychiatrist.

Will stopping this medicine can cause serious side effects or parking son disease
Female | 43
Side effects may arise after stopping the medication suddenly, particularly if it's for a mental disorder such as schizophrenia. The symptoms you are having such as vomiting, irritability, difficulty concentrating, dizziness, and dry mouth may be because of this sudden change. It's necessary to talk to your psychiatrist about this, doing so you'll be able to get rid of them safely. They might recommend decreasing the dose step by step or shifting to another drug to prevent adverse effects.

i am on 20mg fluxetine one tablet a day i took 3 so 60mg as i missed a few days do i need to go to hospital
Female | 30
Hi there! Taking more medicine than the suggested dose can be bad. If you take 60mg of fluoxetine instead of 20mg, it can make you feel dizzy, mixed up, have a fast heartbeat, or even get seizures. It is important to stay calm and tell your doctor right away. The doctor will help you know what to do next to stay safe and healthy.

My sister took 5 escitalopram and 2 mirtazapine together should I take her to hospital
Female | 18
Taking 5 escitalopram and 2 mirtazapine pills together can put your sister in great danger. This mix of medicines may make her very sleepy, confused, and give her a fast heartbeat or even seizures. These drugs can interact badly and harm her body. It is crucial to take her to the hospital right away so doctors can help her feel better and stop serious problems from happening.

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 | 18
Setra 50mg may give side effects sometimes. Feeling dizzy, headache, and nausea are common side effects. These often happen when you start taking the medicine. However, your body adjusts, and they go away. If side effects bother you, talk to your psychiatrist. They might change the dosage or suggest ways to manage symptoms. It's important to keep taking your prescribed medicine unless your doctor says otherwise.

I'm 29 and male, i feel mood swings, i wake at midnight then there's no sleep, there's salty sweat and salty saliva, i can't concentrate & forget things immediately, hair loss & weight loss
Male | 29
With your signs of mood changes, severe sleep problems, and physical complications like hair loss and weight loss, you must get medical help in time. I would suggest that you try to consult with a psychiatrist who can establish the proper diagnosis through a comprehensive testing procedure. You should also see an endocrinologist for evaluation of these symptoms that may be due to the hormonal imbalance.

I have bn on anti depressants from Tuesday and I am sweating and feel lightheaded and panick attacks
Male | 35
If you're having these symptoms.. don't stop the medications abruptly. Stay hydrated, take rest, and seek emotional support. And avoid alcohol or caffeine if you do consume. Practice relaxation techniques. Consult your psychiatrist to find the right medication and dosage for you.

I’m taking Effexor and am having troubles sexually and skip my doses 2-3 days in advance but have nausea, dizziness and diarrhea. Is there a way to combat that without changing meds or adding anything? Can I use anti diarrhea pills or something?
Male | 37
If Effexor is missed, some withdrawal symptoms can set in like nausea, dizziness, and diarrhea. To mitigate these issues, the drug should be taken consistently. Even though over-the-counter anti-diarrhea medication can provide short-term relief, the best way to deal with the problem is by adhering to the prescription. If you are still worried, it’s advisable to seek further advice from a psychiatrist.

The period of 7 days should pass after you have quit smoking weed. There should be a week's break between the two treatment regimens. Make sure to stay patient and let your body adapt to the medications.

Male | 36
Anxiety typically manifests with heaviness in the chest, shoulder, and left arm pain. You might feel worse when you're all by yourself at home and have time to ponder. It's good to know that you had the tests done just last year. To cope with this, you might try out some deep breathing exercises, talk to a friend, or listen to calming music. In case you are suffering from a mental health condition that has developed over the years, you might also find the need to support a psychiatrist.

Can i take herbal vitamin b12 supplements while I am taking antidepressents.
Female | 43
Vitamin B12 herbal supplements go great with antidepressants. If B12 is low, feelings might be tired, weak, and dizzy. Antidepressants can make it hard for B12 to absorb properly in the body. A supplement helps keep normal B12 levels. Tell your doctor before starting any new supplement.

I have psychological problems and thinking disorders, and the matter affects my mental health so that I cannot study, eat my food, or sleep well, and it causes me a headache All of this is because of my environment and people in my environment, those who live with me or near and those who also left me. Other relationships caused me troubles and crying for months.

Female | 18
I'm truly sorry to hear about your struggles. To address psychological problems and thinking disorders caused by your environment and relationships, seek professional help from a psychiatrist psychologist, or therapist. Share your feelings with a trusted friend or family member, prioritize self-care, and consider journaling. If necessary, set boundaries with toxic individuals and, under professional guidance, explore medication options. Recovery takes time, so be patient and work on a long-term plan with your mental health provider. You don't have to face this alone; there is help available.

I have a child who is 10 years of age. I had depression when she was born and still have even today. So I went to notice that my child is also having it and it makes me feel like I have failed her so bad. She would just cry in everything and have a very short temper,that it sometimes hard for her to concentrate. Please I want to help her before it is too late,what is the first step that I can do.is there any over the counter medication that I can get for her
Female | 10
If your kids are crying easily, getting mad quickly, and can’t pay attention, they might have something called “childhood depression.” You did not cause this. It is nobody’s fault. One thing I would do is talk with a therapist/psychiatrist. There might be other ways doctors can think of to help your child and family.
