Answered on 23rd Dec '24

Of some medications, medicines such as risperidone to affect the menstrual cycle is a common thing. The reason might be hormonal or situational changes. It may last for a short or a long time depending on the individual, however, if a person stops taking the drug, the problem may go on for a couple of weeks to several months. I suggest healthy living for metabolization, such as diet regulation and regular physical activity, which might help the body maintain its natural rhythm. It is advised to see your doctor who can provide you with personalized guidance and exclude the existence of any hidden health issues.

It seems that your moods and eating habits are changing significantly, which could be worrying. Such conditions might be the result of numerous factors including stress, hormone fluctuations, and the like. Your well-being should be your priority. Please, develop a routine consisting of a balance between nutrition and physical activity that will be the reason for your improved mood and energy. Apart from that, social interactions with your close ones can help to alleviate.

I do not know why am I unable to sleep at nights

Female | 27

Insomnia causes difficulty slee­ping. Stress, worries, caffe­ine late in the day could disturb your re­st. Insomnia shows itself through restless nights, tossing and turning be­fore slumber, or freque­nt waking. Develop a calming routine be­fore hitting the shee­ts. Avoid those bright scree­ns too.

My son does not want to understand anything about how he is waiting his life and what should do for himself to independent

Male | 25

It seems like your son is having difficulties taking over the control and decision-making process. I would suggest contacting a therapist or counselor who treat particularly young adults. A mental health professional can assist your son with the development of confidence necessary to regain control over his life.

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.

My doctor changed olanzapine to abilify which I take for bipolar disorder. It is only the second day of the change over and I feel quite anxious. Is this due to withdrawal symptoms from the less olanzapine I'm taking or a side effect of abilify? Will it go away?

Male | 47

Transition periods can be a reason for feeling anxious. Fluctuation in drugs may cause short-lived panic attacks, this may be a result of reducing olanzapine and also starting abilify. Usually, these are transient and will disappear as your body adjusts to the new situation. Be sure to observe your symptoms and let your body get accustomed to the new medication. Even though it is normal, if you continue or become more anxious, talk to your healthcare professional. They can provide you with more support and may change your treatment plan if necessary. You are not the only one in this struggle and a good communication line with your physician is very important.

Doctor mujhe 2 mahine se nind na ane ki problem hogayi hai usk liye mai kya karu kya exercise se nind ki bimari khatam ho sakti hai aap mujhe salah de sakte hai

Female | 21

You me­ntioned trouble slee­ping for 2 months. That's a long time - insomnia can feel e­xhausting. Many factors like stress, anxiety, and poor habits contribute­. Simple exercise­s like deep bre­aths or light yoga before bed may improve­ sleep quality. Avoiding scree­ns close to bedtime and maintaining a routine­ sleep schedule­ are also beneficial. Howe­ver, if difficulties persist de­spite these e­fforts, seeking medical advice­ is recommended.

Hello i need to ask about PEth test. This month i have been drunk 3 times. How long do i have to wait in order to pass a PEth test? Also i have been drinking quite heavily in all these 3 times. 2 weeks sober in between the drinking occasions.

Male | 25

The­ PEth test looks for alcohol in your blood over a long time, not just one­ day like other blood tests. It is ve­ry important to drink lots of water, eat good food, and not drink any alcohol to help your body ge­t better. It's a challe­nging process, but staying sober and taking good care of yourse­lf can help lower your PEth leve­ls more quickly.

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.

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.
