Feeling very sleepy in the morning could be a side effect of your medications, venlafaxine, and vortioxetine. It is important to talk to your psychiatrist about this issue, as they can review your medication and make any necessary adjustments. Please visit your psychiatrist for further advice and proper management.

I was taken daxid 50 mg tablet .I am feared that tablet side effects.if any problem are effected male sexual hormone level
Male | 19
It is completely understandable to worry about the side effects of a medicine. Male hormone levels can be affected by Daxid 50 mg occasionally. This might lead to symptoms such as low sex drive or difficulty in achieving an erection. The reason for this is that the drug has an impact on serotonin levels in the brain. If you are going through these things, it would be best to talk to your doctor about them.

I am 24 year old i am overthinking last 4 years nahi merko nind aati hai subha bhi nahi aati jaise ankh band karta dimag mein kuch na kuch chalta rehta alcohol drink karta hoon toh jayada karunga tab nind aati hai bina piye jab kam drink karunga nind nahi aati

Sometimes as a way of managing the condition, you come to the idea of alcohol consumption to enable you to have a good night's sleep. But alcohol can become a habit and become a more serious problem in the long run. Factors such as stress, anxiety, or overconsumption of alcohol, are the usual suspects of sleep problems and irritability. Besides, to avoid sleep disorders, you can reduce alcohol intake and apply meditation before bed. Another effective approach is physical activity and sleeping at fixed times. If your sleep disturbances continue, do not hesitate to report them to a specialist who will examine you properly and offer you the best treatment.

Male | 17
You might have Bipolar Disorder. You may have to deal with drastic changes in mood such as being very cheerful and energetic at one time and then later feeling very sad and downcast. At times, people with bipolar disorder can also experience hallucinations and paranoid thoughts. Proper communication with a psychiatrist is vital for getting the right diagnosis of your situation and working out the best treatment.

I've been seeing things that aren't there, and feeling an overwhelming sense of paranoia. I feel bugs crawling on my skin and feel like I've lost my individuality, and have no personality. I don't know what's wrong with me.
Female | 15
It sounds like you might be having symptoms of a mental health problem known as psychosis. This makes people see or hear things that are not there, become paranoid, or have trouble thinking clearly. Various things such as stress, trauma, or even some medical conditions may trigger these signs. It is important to confide in someone about what you are going through and also seek help from a mental health specialist like a therapist or psychiatrist.

Can I take my xanax and drink orange juice?
Female | 71
To get the Xanax to work effectively, don't take it with orange juice. Xanax is in a class of medications called benzodiazepines. Mixing it with orange juice makes your body absorb Xanax less well because the juice's acidity interferes with this process.

Am fully stress and i can't sleep all night. I wand to cry i don't know the reason but i wand cry
Female | 18
That's normal - everyone experiences those feelings now and then. Stress builds up. It makes sleeping difficult and brings tears easily. That's okay though. Try opening up to someone you trust about what's bothering you. Deep breaths or listening to calm music might help too. Don't forget: taking care of your mental health matters just as much as your physical health.

I am 23 year old currently working as an assistant Professor, but for past 3years I have developed the habit of talking while sleeping and sometimes I'm shouting out of fear in the night while sleeping this was told by my mother. What is the reason. I want reduce this.
Female | 23
You may have something called sleep talking or night terrors. When one is stressed or anxious, they may talk or shout while normally sleeping. You can try to reduce the stress before going to bed by using some relaxation techniques or maybe even have a quiet bedtime routine. But if that doesn’t work out then I would advise you to see a sleep specialist who will be able to help further.

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.

You might have acid reflux making your chest feel weird after eating. It could also be anxiety. Dry, scratchy eyes are another sign of being anxious. You should try eating more slowly and staying away from spicy foods as well as doing relaxation exercises or talking with someone you trust about what's on your mind Managing your anxiousness can also help with relieving dryness so if needed use some artificial tears.

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.

You may have a gag reflex. This happens when your body is more sensitive to certain things you see, smell, or taste. It isn’t usually serious but it can be unpleasant. Try to steer clear of anything that makes you feel like this. If it won’t go away and bothers you, too, it might help to speak with a doctor about how to handle it.

Depression can impact not only one's gait but also distort movement patterns. Nonetheless, many other chronic medical diseases can likewise cause a person to walk differently. It is wiser to get a consultation from a neurologist to eliminate any possibility of disorders in the nervous system that may be the factors. On the other hand, if you are having depression signs, it is mandatory to get treatment from a mental health specialist.

I wonder if I have a form of OCD. I finger tap, muscle twitch, and count syllables. Also, when I finger tap and muscle twitch, it has to be equal on both sides of my body, or else it really bothers me. Also, let's say I hit my elbow on a table or fridge, I feel a very urgent need to touch my other elbow to said table or fridge, and it is very hard to ignore the need. This has been bothering me for about 2-3 years. (Ever since I started high school).

Your description points to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms. OCD is a condition where thoughts repeat. People feel compelled to do actions repeatedly. This includes tapping, counting, or needing symmetry. OCD treatment usually involves therapy and medication. Speaking with a psychiatrist about symptoms is crucial.

I recently found out I am pregnant. I am currently on antidepressants (50mg quetiapine, 150m Lamotrigine and 20mg escitalopram) should I be worried about the baby's development. I also had a miscarriage before, what can I do to keep baby healthy, are there recommendations for supplements
Female | 33
Pregnant women should have normal worries when carrying a baby after a miscarriage. The medications you've been prescribed can influence the development of your baby but quitting them too quickly can also be dangerous. This is the reason why it is vital to discuss this with your doctor. To promote your child's health, eat healthy foods and take prenatal vitamins, especially folic acid.
