What's the strongest medication for acute insomnia in females?

Hi I am 29 years old and a female I have acute insomnia and don’t have the funds to find out which medication can make me sleep, I’ve tried Adco zolpidem (I need to take 3 to sleep, and it doesn’t keep me asleep) and dormonoct and neither have worked. Please advise me on what medication is the strongest and will help me sleep through the night

You're going through ataxic insomnia. Insomnia is the condition of the person who finds it difficult to sleep. It may occur due to stress, worries, or illnesses. Because Adco Zolpidem and Dormonal Act have not worked for you, I would recommend the try of melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that the body naturally produces and it is responsible for controlling the daily and monthly rhythms. It is over-the-counter and besides, it might also help you in getting a full night's sleep.

I am an 18 year old female and have recently been prescribed 25mg of Sertraline to take for my anxiety. However i haven't started taking it yet because i feel i didn't get the chance to fully talk about my concerns and the potential side effects before committing to taking medication.

Female | 18

Sertraline is often the first treatment for anxiety. Mild side effects that can be experienced are stomach aches, headaches, and problems with sleeping. These disappear by themselves. If you have any doubt about taking it, ask your physician for a consultation. They are available to help you with your doubts before starting the course of the medication.

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.

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.

Feeling too sleepy but still not getting sleep

Female | 27

This happe­ns when you're anxious or stresse­d. Irregular habits play a role too. Caffeine­ and screen time be­fore bed don't help e­ither. Try a calming routine - read, take­ a warm bath. Avoid caffeine, scree­ns close to bedtime. Ke­ep a consistent slee­p schedule. If it persists, talk to a therapist or counsellor.

Mental condition is not stable

Female | 19

You're going through some changes in your mental health. This can show up as feeling low, anxious, or having trouble concentrating and sleeping. It might be due to stress, traumatic experiences, or certain illnesses. To feel better, try talking to a close friend, taking some time for yourself, staying active, eating a balanced diet, and getting enough rest.

I’ve been taking Cipralex and Fluanxole for a few years and about 5 months before I started having exaggerated startle response (myoclonus and blinking as a reaction to a sudden stimulus). Can it be caused by antidepressants? I’m very scared :(

Female | 27

Various factors can contribute to this reaction, such as stress or underlying medical conditions. If you're concerned, it's important to consult a doctor for accurate evaluation and guidance on your symptoms and medication. Never alter your medication regimen without medical advice.

Mene librium 10 ki 6 tablet li hai abhi

महिला | 30

If you take 6 Librium 10 tablets at once, it is dangerous. Librium is a drug used for treating anxiety which can make you feel sleepy or confused as well as lead to shallow breathing when taken in large amounts. To avoid any negative effects, make sure to take only the dose prescribed by your doctor and contact them immediately if you believe that you have overdosed on this medicine so that they can advise accordingly.

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.

Hello i had a panic attack yesterday and my hands and feet were going numb also my mouth so i went to the ER they did 2 syringes in my stomach of Aqua then they did one behind of diazepam i am a regular smoker and i wanted to smoke could i? If i cant should i buy a no nicotine pack?

Female | 16

The numbness of hands, feet, and mouth is the result of decreased blood flow in panic attacks. The effect of smoking on the body can make people suffer from panic attacks. Given the fact that you were prescribed diazepam at the ER, smoking might hurt it. Stay away from smoking as it is better for you. If you are in bad shape and have to, you can try a no-nicotine pack.

I can't sleep all night. But I sleep all day. It's been going on for 16 years. Why is this happening and what can I do to get rid of it?

Male | 36

Your symptoms might be due to a condition called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. This happens when your body clock gets out of sync, causing you to feel sleepy during the day and awake at night. Symptoms include difficulty falling asleep at night and feeling tired during the day. To improve this, follow a regular sleep schedule, avoid bright screens before bed, and try to spend time outdoors in sunlight.
