Do my depression medications interact and cause a rash?

Hi, I am 35 F being treated for treatment resistant depression. I am on this regimen for 7 days now and have developed a benign rash allover my body. I am taking duloxtene, lustral, vilazodone, lamictal, and lurasidone. Please verify of these drugs don't have any serious interactions and what to do with my rash.

The drugs that you have mentioned are solely for the treatment of depression, and the great news is that they do not create any major interactions. The rash might be a result of the use of one of the medications, possibly Lamictal. Rashes can often occur while one takes this drug. I suggest you reach out to your doctor, inform them about the new symptom, and find out the best way to address it.

How to Cure my Social Anxiety ?

Male | 21

This is when you feel very afraid or nervous in social situations. You might get sweaty, have a tremble, or find it difficult to talk to people. Social anxiety can be caused by a combination of genetics and things that have happened to you. Getting therapy and counseling will teach you how to control your emotions and become more self-assured. Exercise as well as relaxation techniques can also work wonders.

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.

I wanted to take about my sleeping problem and wanted to take sleeping pills

Male | 85

You have trouble­ sleeping at night. You are thinking of taking sle­eping pills. This is known as insomnia. It can happen due to stre­ss, anxiety, or lifestyle habits like­ using screens before­ bedtime. Taking slee­ping pills might help but they can have side­ effects. First, try improving your slee­p routine. Avoid caffeine. Cre­ate a relaxing bedtime­ routine.

Overthinking and repetitive behaviours

Male | 23

Feeling mentally overwhelmed and stuck in repetitive patterns for an extended period can be a sign of anxiety. This may lead to symptoms like restlessness, sleep disturbances, and heightened alertness. The causes of anxiety can vary, ranging from stress and genetics to imbalances in brain chemicals. To manage these feelings, practicing mindfulness, exercising, and talking to someone can significantly improve your well-being.

I just quit smoking weed 3 days ago. Also just got prescribed venlafaxine for my anxiety. How long should i wait to start taking them?

Female | 20

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.

Hi, I got prescribed sertraline 50mg and wanted to start treatment. However, I took St John’s wort 3 days ago. Is this safe for me to start sertraline treatment tomorrow?

Female | 22

Se­rtraline helps with depre­ssion and anxiety. St. John's Wort is an herb that doesn't mix we­ll with sertraline. Togethe­r, they could cause serotonin syndrome­ - symptoms like confusion, fast heartbeat, and high blood pre­ssure. It's better to wait 2 we­eks after stopping St. John's Wort before­ starting sertraline. This preve­nts any issues from occurring.

I am not feeling well and satisfied in my life and also want to do crazy things that would enhance my motivation and skill

Male | 23

Feeling unmotivated and wanting to try new things is usually when we are feeling stagnant in life. Reach out and talk to someone you feel comfortable with about your feelings. Continue doing the things you like, step outside for a walk, or delve into a new hobby. Self-care and creating new sources of joy are methods of bringing your mood up.
