Sertraline is often a drug to treat feelings of anxiety or depression. Undoubtedly, nausea, headaches, or tiredness can be among the common side effects. But these typically go away by themselves after a short period. If you notice anything that concerns you or if you have any unusual symptoms, speaking with your psychiatrist is a helpful thing to do.

I have been taking paliperidone for the past month. I have been out of it for a couple days so I decided to take some Seroquel to help with the voices and whatnot that I have been hearing. Is there any need to be concerned about the drug interactions if I haven't had any paliperidone I close to 48 hours?
Male | 37
Switching between medicines like paliperidone and Seroquel is tricky. Even if time passed since your last paliperidone dose, drug interactions may happen. Mixing them risks dizziness, drowsiness, and uneven heartbeats. Consulting your doctor for personalized advice is wise.

I am a 17 year old male, ive been having symptoms of Bipolar Disordet for the past year, ive also experienced hallucinations and manic paranoia, there is a history of mental illness in my family, my uncle has ever bipolar and psychosis
Male | 17
You might have Bipolar Disorder. You may have to deal with drastic changes in mood such as being very cheerful and energetic at one time and then later feeling very sad and downcast. At times, people with bipolar disorder can also experience hallucinations and paranoid thoughts. Proper communication with a psychiatrist is vital for getting the right diagnosis of your situation and working out the best treatment.

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.

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.

Male | 21
Stress, hormonal changes, and the life cycle are the major factors causing this situation. Open up to others about your problems, as they might provide you relief. Doing physical activities, following a proper diet, and making sure to sleep enough are also some of the benefits that see it. If you are unsure of what actions to take, make an appointment to see a psychiatrist who can give you support and advice for the situation.

Is exercise good for akathisia caused by ssri meds
Male | 22
Akathisia, the condition characterized by undue restlessness or an uncontrolled compulsion to move the body, even muscle contractions or spasms that may occur, are among the side effects of the intake of SSRIs. A physical regime that is regular will help decrease anxiety and boost the overall health status of an individual. Low-intensity exercises like walking and yoga have the energy to be miracles. However, each case is different from the other, and suggest you take your symptoms and exercise programs to your doctor.

You may have a condition called restless legs syndrome (RLS). RLS sometimes makes you feel your body is moving and dancing with no control, especially when you daydream. Such an issue could arise, and the suer will feel that their legs or other body parts should always be in motion. RLS can happen if you have a low iron level issue, but it can be one of the symptoms of other medical conditions, so it is advisable to see a psychiatrist to get the correct diagnosis and prescription.

I am 24 Year old male. Recently my dad passed away. I felt sick one night and went to hospital and they diagnosed me as anxiety disorder. I stopped the medication for one day and feeling fine but just now I’m feeling the symptoms again but I had a few sip of beer beforehand so I’m wondering if I should still take meds to help with my symptoms or I should not take meds? The medication is Ativan
Male | 24
Restlessness, increased heart rate, and trouble with concentration are some of the most common symptoms that anxiety can cause. Alcohol can mix with drugs such as Ativan and the patient might suffer severe side effects. The primary rule is to get advice from your doctor before starting any treatment of any kind, especially after a shot of alcohol. They will provide you with advice that suits you. Apart from that, always put your mental health first, and with the help of a professional, you can learn to handle these emotions.
