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 23 years old and my mood swings very quickly, sometimes I feel like I should go far away by leaving from everything but I can't do that and most of the time I'm being in sorrow and I'm not interested in anything I don't know why I'm feeling like this. Please tell me any solution for this and I would like to know my mental status.

Female | 23

your mood swings, and feeling of lack of pleasure in pleasurable activities show that you might have episode of depressive  illness.Please do a clinical psychologist like me online/ offline for detailed psychological evaluation & treatment.

I'm suffering from Anxiety from previous trauma

Female | 34

Dealing with anxiety issues due to past experiences can be challenging, but there is a big community of people out there who are also experiencing this. Symptoms include feeling worried, tense, or having trouble sleeping. Such incidents as accidents or loss can be used as examples of trauma that can cause this. To feel better, therapy can be very efficient. Expressing your emotions and learning to deal with problems might really turn you into an oaring ship. Relaxation techniques and exercise can also be some other means of mental quiescence precursor. Hang in there, you can get through this.

Can taking zertec and flounase cause depression

Female | 16

Zertec and Flonase are antihistamines used for the treatment of allergies. And nasal congestion, but no direct evidence supports their association with depression On the other hand, if one is showing signs of depression it is necessary to visit a psychiatrist for accurate diagnosis and therapy, not self medication recommended

I have recently increased my anixety & nervousness....and I have suffered from emotional break...

Female | 29

Experiencing symptoms like a rapid heartbeat, restlessness, or difficulty concentrating can be the usual picture during these times. Very stressful life events, changes in one's life situation, or circumstances that are too much to handle can be some of the reasons behind it. Reducing stress is easy to start with by taking time out to focus on handling what makes you feel unwell. This can be done by following relaxation methods like the abdominal breathing procedure and the inclusion of mindfulness meditation in self-management, performing physical exercise, and keeping healthy sleep patterns. Speaking with a friend, family member, or other loved ones can be highly beneficial, too.

To minimize such effects, it's crucial to re­duce Deanxit dosage gradually unde­r medical guidance. Meanwhile­, staying hydrated, eating nutritious meals, re­sting enough, and doing light exercise­s may provide relief. But re­member, always kee­p your doctor informed about changing your dosage for e­ffective manageme­nt.

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.

Hi, I am on the contraceptive implant and have been experiencing anxiety. Should I get this out?

Female | 21

When it comes to using a contraceptive implant, it's common to feel worried about anxiety. The hormonal changes caused by this method, on rare occasions, can sometimes cause mood swings. First of all, it can be extremely helpful to track when these feelings appear and any other symptoms you notice. Maybe, you can consider going to your doctor for a discussion, since he/she can scientifically evaluate your condition and propose other therapies in case of need. Keep in mind, you are not the only person in this situation and the medical practitioner can help you ease your panic and will apply a resolution suitable specifically for your needs. Your comfort and health are important, so please reach out to the required specialist for advice.
