I am 22 years of age i have been feeling weak for the past 1week and i have visited the hospital for treatment and my doctors told me is stress and i have taken all the drugs but still am still feeling weak ?
Male | 21
The tension can lower energy levels leading to tiredness. Factors such as poor nutrition, dehydration, or lack of sleep, might also cause it. I suggest having a balanced diet filled with vitamins and minerals, drinking enough water, and making sure you sleep well with proper rest. Doing some light exercise can also give the energy you need. In the event of persistent fatigue, it is necessary to go back to the healthcare provider and say what evaluations or treatments may be made.

I wanted to know that what is amphetamine and methamphetamine
Female | 21
Amphetamine and methamphetamine are powerful stimulants that can produce feelings of alertness and increased energy. They may manifest as such signs as rapid pulse, sweating, and nervousness. These substances are usually manufactured illegally and can be highly habit-forming. If an individual is on either amphetamine or methamphetamine, it is crucial for them to consult with a healthcare provider on how to quit using the drugs safely.

Hi. I suffer from severe OCD, anxiety and depression and I'm on two antidepressants - fluoxetine and mirtazapine. I am wondering about the efficacy of vortioxetine in treating OCD, anxiety and depression and whether replacing mirtazapine with vortioxetine will bring improvement to my mental health. I can't find any information on Google. Both of them are atypical antidepressants. Is vortioxetine superior or inferior to mirtazapine in general? Someone told me that vortioxetine is "very mild" in terms of efficacy. Is that true? Thank you.
Male | 25
Like mirtazapine, vortioxetine is believed to help with anxiety, depression, and OCD. Some trials have shown vortioxetine may be useful for these conditions. However, everyone reacts to drugs differently. Therefore, you must talk to your doctor about any changes in your medication so that they can find something that will work for you.

I have ADD / Inattentive ADHD. I’m having extreme problems with weight loss but my medication (Generic for Vyvanse), Suppresses my appetite and I can’t gain any weight. Are there any prescriptions I can try that won’t suppress my appetite and will help me gain weight?
Male | 18
It appears that you’re having trouble losing weight because of the medicine you’re taking for ADD/Inattentive ADHD. Your appetite is affected by this drug thus making it hard for you to gain weight. It may help if you talk to your doctor about trying another medication that doesn’t suppress appetite. Such a change could enable you to reach a healthy weight. Speak with your healthcare provider regarding your concerns so that they can find the right solution.

Female | 22
The situation you describe may indicate that you are suffering from a panic attack. Cold sweats, cold feet, chest pain, fear of dying, nausea, and coughing can be the accompanying symptoms. Panic attacks may result from stress, anxiety, or even a medical condition. Among the ways of handling a panic attack are deep breathing, concentrating on relaxing thoughts, and talking to a trustworthy person.

I am 12 years old and i took valerian to sleep and ive been feeling anxious drowsy and been having insomnia ive lost my appetite too please tell me a way how to fix it at home
Male | 12
The use of valerian can lead to side effects such as anxiety, drowsiness, and insomnia. Also, a loss of appetite is a usual issue. To make it easier, drink a lot of water, eat light meals, and engage in calm activities like walking. Being careful not to take any more valerian is important. You will feel better shortly if you rest and take care of yourself.

You should visit a psychiatrist or even a psychologist trained on mental health. While masturbation does serve to offer a short-term release, it is not necessarily an effective cure for depression.

Hello, I am 30 years old. I have been suffering from panic attacks, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder for 7 years. I went to a psychologist, looked at my condition and prescribed medications. Medication: Velaxin twice a day, half a tablet of Abizol, zolomax 2/1 tablet, 1 tablet after 3 days. I take these medications. I'm afraid to use it. I went to a heart doctor and he examined me and said my heart was healthy. What I want to ask you is, do these drugs harm people?
Kişi | 30
It’s totally okay to feel worried about the medications you’ve been given. Velaxin is for anxiety and panic attacks, Abizol and Zolomax are for anxiety and OCD. These drugs are generally safe when used correctly but can cause dizziness or drowsiness as common side effects. You must follow your doctor’s orders and tell them if anything strange is happening to you.

These symptoms are familiar to you, such as feelings of anxiety, lack of focus, and hearing noises, which could be the first signs of a mental health problem called psychosis. It can derive from stress, trauma, or other reasons. It's inevitable in such situations that you seek help from a mental health professional like a psychiatrist. They can help you with the mentioned meditation and cognitive behavior therapy schemes.

Female | 14
BPD is known for its symptoms such as self-injury, unstable emotions, fear of abandonment, and impulsivity. For example, you may feel sad, lose interest in things that previously gave you pleasure, and experience changes in your eating and sleeping habits. Genetic, biological, and environmental factors may be the culprits of both diseases. You should seek the assistance of a psychiatrist or a counselor.
