How long until my periods return on risperidone?
I've not been getting my periods in have been on risperidone for 1 year since then my periods stopped how long will it take for my periods to resume back
Psychiatrist
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.

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.

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.

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 20 years old student. I have been having suicidal thoughts since a year or two. I have had panic attacks before but since few days i am having several panic attacks in a single day. I always feel uneasy with a pain in chest having problem in breathing. I feel like crying and scared that it might happen again when I'm in front of public.
Female | 20
You might be having panic attacks which is overwhelming and scary. A person having panic attacks may feel many different things including chest pains, trouble breathing, or feeling out of control emotionally. But don’t worry because help is available — talk to someone about it. Reach out to a friend or speak with a therapist.

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.

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.

Likes to live in isolation, does not want to speak with her parents, sidter brother & relatives as well. She has undergone the treat ment with psychiatrist at Bareilly & Lucknow as well. She has no interest in any work.
Female | 30
Depression can bring on feelings such as sadness, isolation, and disinterest in activities that were once a source of joy. Those memories of childhood and spending countless hours running around your house could be signs of distress. It is of utmost importance to carry on with treatment by a psychiatrist for therapy and possibly medication to provide her full support during this tough time.

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.

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 took some session from clinical psychologist, In that time some people were stalking me digitaly and chasing me physically at all places including workplaces and hostels were I lived. I started feeling anxious and panic, I once lost control on my hand and left side body for 10 minutes. I started feeling mentally inactive, I lost my concentration and interest in my work and life. I was just thinking on the issue and who were behind that, who was/is doing and why? could not feel real me , felt like robot. I was hearing voices of people which was another big trauma for me. I need to clear my mind from these trauma and want to start new fresh life
Male | 28
These symptoms are familiar to you, such as feelings of anxiety, lack of focus, and hearing noises, which could be the first signs of a mental health problem called psychosis. It can derive from stress, trauma, or other reasons. It's inevitable in such situations that you seek help from a mental health professional like a psychiatrist. They can help you with the mentioned meditation and cognitive behavior therapy schemes.

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.

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

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.
