How do I stop feeling unreal after marijuana use?
I first tried marijuana around 4 months ago, ever since then I feel like I've been dreaming and I'm waiting to wake up, how do I get rid of this?

Answered on 21st Jan '25
It's not uncommon to experience feelings of detachment or altered perception following marijuana use. These sensations can arise from temporary changes in brain chemistry or sensory perception. To alleviate these symptoms, consider engaging in regular physical activity, practicing mindfulness techniques such as meditation, and maintaining a balanced diet. Staying hydrated and getting sufficient sleep is also beneficial. If these feelings persist or significantly disrupt your daily life, I encourage you to seek support from a psychiatrist who can provide personalized guidance and assess your situation more thoroughly.

I am 19 years old boy I have face problem with over thinking from last 3 year If I can't start studying I am just focus for 1 minutes and then overthinking
Male | 19
Overthinking can make concentrating super hard. You might feel anxious or stressed too. With all those thoughts swirling around, it's no wonder you get overwhelmed sometimes! But don't worry, there are ways to chill out. Try taking deep breaths, meditating, or chatting with a psychiatrist.

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.

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.

What would happen if I take 3 yellow betapam pills at once
Female | 19
Taking 3 yellow betapam pills at once is extremely risky. Betapam treats anxiety disorders. But overdosing can induce severe dizziness, excessive sleepiness, and dangerously slowed breathing – a serious overdose situation requiring urgent medical attention. Never exceed your doctor's recommended dosage.

I feel a heavy heart, I get nervous while working, I am unable to understand things.To be firm, to sometimes be right, to not be unstable in mind
Male | 26
Experiencing tightness in your chest, jumping around, and becoming nervous while working is usually the result of tension or anxiety, which may cause your concentration to be muddled and leave you feeling incapacitated. To acknowledge and accept these emotions might be one of the most important things you can do. Try self-help techniques such as meditation or mindfulness to destress your mind. Daily physical exercises and a good diet can make you a happier and clearer person. If they continue to occur and get worse, I recommend you talk to your family doctor who will offer you qualified help and guidance.

I’ve been struggling with sleep the slightest bit of light or noise and sometimes even nothing makes me not able to sleep I’ve been getting frustrated and upset really easily and I’ve been over eating
Female | 18
You might find that insomnia and stress are your main issues. Trouble sleeping can be caused by a little bit of light or noise. Feelings like anger, being upset, and eating too much can lead to other problems. Try creating a soothing bedtime routine, like reading a good book or taking a hot bath. Avoid screen time and large meals before bed. If these steps don't help, seek professional advice from a gynecologist.

Doctor I had headache in past so I took paracetamol Now I study but during study I have overthinking so much how I can remove it & how can I focus on studies without any distraction with discipline & consistency
Female | 16
If you are enduring the pain of a headache and overthinking while studying, it is vital to attend to the root issue. I advise you to refer to a neurologist to exclude possible medical problems of headache origin. As well, you can try to get support from the mental health professionals, like psychiatrists, who can show you how to manage your tendency to overthink and develop the necessary discipline and consistency in studies.

Female | 28
It's important to take care of your mental health, especially with the responsibilities you have as a parent. Continue taking your prescribed medication, but also consider speaking with a psychiatrist or a psychologist to explore therapy options that might help you manage your depression and anxiety better. Regular follow-ups with a psychiatrist are crucial for your well-being.

hello! how are you? apparently i woke up today from a nightmare, but problem is that when i woke up there was a severe coldness everywhere in my body and my heartbeat was going 180mph for the past 15 minutes now, that was like 6 hours ago, now i’m doing fine and my heartbeat is now at 86mph and i’m relaxing but i feel like i’m still traumatized haha, should i be concerned tho or is it something normal??
Female | 15
After waking up from a nightmare, feeling uneasy is normal. Your heart rate may increase quickly because your body thinks the danger is near. This reaction, though unsettling, typically subsides as you regain composure. However, if these occurrences persist frequently, discussing them with a psychiatrist would be advisable. Nightmares can sometimes reflect underlying concerns that require attention.

I'm 29 and male, i feel mood swings, i wake at midnight then there's no sleep, there's salty sweat and salty saliva, i can't concentrate & forget things immediately, hair loss & weight loss
Male | 29
With your signs of mood changes, severe sleep problems, and physical complications like hair loss and weight loss, you must get medical help in time. I would suggest that you try to consult with a psychiatrist who can establish the proper diagnosis through a comprehensive testing procedure. You should also see an endocrinologist for evaluation of these symptoms that may be due to the hormonal imbalance.

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.
Female | 34
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.

Male | 24
Sleep disturbance can affect focus and memory. Common causes include stress, lifestyle choices, and even medical conditions. To improve your sleep, establish a consistent bedtime routine, limit screen exposure before sleeping, and create a relaxing environment. Incorporate physical activity into your day, and consider mindfulness or relaxation techniques. If these strategies don't help, it may be beneficial to speak with a psychiatrist, who can provide tailored advice and support.

I am a 27 year old male struggling with severe everyday anxiety for 2 years. My anxiety causes me to have sleepless nights and sometimes it feels like I'm Going to lose my mind or lose control of my entire body.
Male | 27
High levels of anxiety can interfere with your sleep and make things seem very scary. It's normal to have racing thoughts, restlessness, and physical symptoms such as sweating or shaking. This comes from a mix of genetics, brain chemistry, and the things you've been through. Speaking with a psychitrist is the best way to manage anxiety through therapy or medication.

I mixed amitriptyline and zolax sr 0.5 im scared
Male | 23
Amitrip and zolax sr 0.5 can make the outcome rather risky. You might feel symptoms like drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, and also have coordination issues. It happens because of both medical specialties that affect the brain. Seeking medical help should be the first priority if you have any of these symptoms noticed.

Male | 36
Anxiety typically manifests with heaviness in the chest, shoulder, and left arm pain. You might feel worse when you're all by yourself at home and have time to ponder. It's good to know that you had the tests done just last year. To cope with this, you might try out some deep breathing exercises, talk to a friend, or listen to calming music. In case you are suffering from a mental health condition that has developed over the years, you might also find the need to support a psychiatrist.
