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.

I had drug induced psychosis how can I know if it’s only drug induced psychosis or if it’s like schizophrenia or something

Male | 22

A psychiatrist’s consult needs to make a determination whether your psychosis is substance abused induced or if it may signify a more serious mental illness, like schizophrenia. A psychiatrist can conduct a comprehensive assessment and steer you in the right direction for treatment. I suggest that you see a psychiatrist who specializes in psychotic disorders.

i will speak about my mom , so recently her eyes disturbance began a half hour ago, she dosen't stay hydrated for a long time she drinks from time to time, she uses the phone for hours straight , she dosen't sleep well, she has lack of sleep, when she said she has crisis ; she meant that her heart start beat fast and she start walking around because she said that she can't sit , she begin to stress hard and only think of bad consequences, she said that she can;t think well , her brain is in a mess as well as her thoughts swiming in bad thoughts , she said that she had panic attack pairing with these effects . So Doctor what is the solution what she have to do ?

Male | 18

Your mom could be going through anxiety and panic attacks. When a person’s heart is beating fast, can’t keep still, and has bad thoughts, it might be a panic attack. It could get worse if she doesn’t sleep well, take enough water and use the phone a lot. She ought to rest more, ensure she drinks sufficient water, and take breaks from the phone if she wants to feel better. Some deep breaths may help calm her down when having one. These signs should be reported to her general practitioner immediately.

I have problems with getting to sleep. But I do shisha and after I do shisha it helps me to sleep, but it's not good for my help what can I do to do away with intial insomnia

Male | 27

Utilizing shisha for sleep isn't recommended at all. In addition, the difficulty of getting sleep is called initial insomnia, and two possible reasons for that may be stress, bad sleep habits, or the use of drugs like shisha. A potentially successful method to deal with the troublesome situation is to establish a bedtime habit that makes you relaxed and quit stimulants, and some consultation with a doctor might be helpful on time.

I am prescribed 0.50 mg of alprazolam as needed. I took my dose and do not feel anything and am still having an anxiety attack. It has been 2 and a half hours since I took that dose. Can I take 0.25 now or is it too dangerous? I have no health issues.

Female | 24

Don't take more medicine without going to a doctor. You may hurt yourself if you do anything harmful. At least attempt to find some other way besides taking so much Xanax all the time because that could end badly too, like speaking halfway or breathing deeply.  If these don't work then going to therapy would be great too.

Vyvanse is a pill used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as well as binge eating disorder. Along with this, any type of inaccurate or excessive use of the medication may lead to psychosis among people.

Female | 30

It is okay to fe­el shy and stressed at time­s. Many people face this. It can fe­el hard to be with others. You might fe­el nervous, shy, or scared. But, you are­ not alone in this. Try taking small steps. You could join a club or talk to someone­ you trust. Taking deep breaths and le­arning to relax can also help lower stre­ss. Move at your own pace. Take it slow.

Female | 22

The situation you describe may indicate that you are suffering from a panic attack. Cold sweats, cold feet, chest pain, fear of dying, nausea, and coughing can be the accompanying symptoms. Panic attacks may result from stress, anxiety, or even a medical condition. Among the ways of handling a panic attack are deep breathing, concentrating on relaxing thoughts, and talking to a trustworthy person.

I am 24 year old i am overthinking last 4 years nahi merko nind aati hai subha bhi nahi aati jaise ankh band karta dimag mein kuch na kuch chalta rehta alcohol drink karta hoon toh jayada karunga tab nind aati hai bina piye jab kam drink karunga nind nahi aati

Male | 24

Sometimes as a way of managing the condition, you come to the idea of alcohol consumption to enable you to have a good night's sleep. But alcohol can become a habit and become a more serious problem in the long run. Factors such as stress, anxiety, or overconsumption of alcohol, are the usual suspects of sleep problems and irritability. Besides, to avoid sleep disorders, you can reduce alcohol intake and apply meditation before bed. Another effective approach is physical activity and sleeping at fixed times. If your sleep disturbances continue, do not hesitate to report them to a specialist who will examine you properly and offer you the best treatment.
