Answered on 16th Aug '24
Sleep paralysis is a sleep disorder that makes you feel stuck. Your brain wakes up, but your body doesn't. This causes temporary paralysis which can be scary. You might feel afraid or confused. Seeing things move or crying are part of this experience. To reduce sleep paralysis, have a regular sleep routine. Go to bed at the same time each night. Avoid screens before bed. If it keeps happening, talk to a sleep specialist. They can guide you on what to do.

I am 29 years old and female. I am not pregnant and have difficulty sleeping at night. Currently I am on adco zolpidem and I find take one at 21:00 leaves me still awake at 22:10 so I have administered another, I want to know if there are other products on the market that are stronger and also should I fall asleep after taking the the second one I wake up 5 hours from administration where I take another half a tablet
Female | 29
It is crucial not to overstep the stipulated dosage or mix it with other drugs. If you're up after taking it, your insomniac problems may be due to some other factors that may be holding you back from getting the sleep you need. I would suggest discussing it with your doctor and possibly trying a different medication or adopting some other approaches to get your sleep back to normal.

Good day doctor Since childhood, I have always been pressing on my nerves and muscles throughout my body, and I can't control myself. It's like grinding teeth, but in my body, and it's voluntary. These are not spasms; I do them, but I can't stop them. When I try to stop myself, I feel like I'm going to explode. The issue was minor in childhood and significantly reduced during adolescence almost to the point of disappearing. However, over the past few years, the problem has worsened significantly. Currently, I'm squeezing my body's vertebrae, especially my neck, and I feel like it's twisting. I consulted a psychiatrist and neurologist who said there is no organic issue, just a bit of anxiety. I took medications for anxiety and stress, but there was no effect. Thank you very much for your time
Male | 34
Pressing nerves and muscles could be body-focused repetitive behavior. This means squeezing or pushing body parts. Anxiety can make this worse. You should see a psychiatrist and neurologist. Since they found no physical problems, managing anxiety and stress may help.

Several months ago, I experienced a sudden and strong fear in one of the cafes, to the point that I felt a squeeze in my heart, pain, and a very strong palpitation, as if it had reached my stomach. I had to cough to relieve the palpitations and suffocation. Days later, I quickly became afraid of the simplest, even daily, situations, even if a simple emotion caused me strong palpitations and suffocation. And the tremors and coldness of the extremities. I read about diseases of the adrenal gland and became very afraid. The condition increased with great fear. I now cannot stand leaving the house and am very afraid of any feelings, even if the feelings are happiness or good feelings and also i get dizzy when i stand up too fast is it possible that there is something dangerous with the adrenal gland?

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.

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.

Male | 17
It seems like you might be going through depression or anxiety. These factors may impair your capacity to focus and an activity you used to enjoy. I suggest seeking advice from a mental health professional to review your symptoms and to talk about the treatment options. They will work with you to design a plan that fits your needs, so that you can feel better and more active.

My brother suffer from ocd or schizopherenia his doctor says
Male | 27
He is at risk of developing OCD or schizophrenia. OCD involves unwanted thoughts and fears that lead to repetitive actions, such as excessive cleaning or organizing. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that distorts thoughts, feelings, and behavior, with symptoms like hearing voices or having delusions. Both conditions can be influenced by genetics and environment. OCD is typically treated with therapy and medications, while schizophrenia treatment often includes antipsychotic medications and therapy. It's important to encourage your brother to see his psychiatrist for a check-up and discuss the best treatment options for his symptoms.

I'm 26 I have autism ocd Suspected ADHD and suspected fibromyalgia I'm taking 15mg of escitalopram It's making me fall asleep from 6 am to 8 am What should I do? I take it in the evening
Male | 26
Escitalopram might be making you feel too drowsy in the morning like it's the reason you are going to sleep. This case is more or less the same with some people. An example of one thing you might do is to consume it earlier in the evening, for instance, right before you eat. This way, you may later be tired but not in the morning. If the problem continues, bring it up with your doctor.

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.

15 male.is it okay to enjoy mastrabating in public. I don’t do it in front of people but it’s very arousing. Should i be concerned about this?
Male | 15
Engaging in self-pleasure in public areas is not socially acceptable. This conduct may indicate a psychological condition known as exhibitionism, where one derives arousal from exposing oneself publicly. Comprehending that such behavior is legally prohibited and can result in severe repercussions is crucial. Seeking a psychiatrist is advisable to address these urges and explore healthier coping mechanisms.

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.

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.

I have an obsession with touching dust and when I mean obsession I mean like if I see dust and don’t wipe it away the thought of that dust being there will be on my mind all day and I can’t rest or forget it until I wipe it away it’s a genuine problem for me and it’s starting to interfere with my life is this ocd or is it just an obsession?
Female | 18
OCD makes people have weird thoughts they can't stop. Like needing to touch dust. These obsessive behaviors feel impossible to avoid. Even though you know they're irrational, the urge is extremely powerful. Don't worry, it's treatable with therapy and medications prescribed by psychiatrists. Discussing the issue openly with counselors helps manage disturbing compulsions. They understand this disorder and can guide you through coping strategies. There are solutions available to overcome OCD's relentless grip.
