Taking several drugs together can involve serious risks. Those medications can have critical impacts on your physique as they interact. Some signs you might face are dizziness, confusion, slow breathing, and even blacking out. It is important to get help right away by either calling the emergency services or going to the nearest hospital. The medications are mixed, and they can be life-threatening. Therefore, you should get medical assistance at once.

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.

I am a 41 year old female and I haven't slept in 2 days last night I couldn't sleep and tonight I can't sleep. I have had instances where I can't sleep throughout the night but I have never been unable to sleep at all. I'm very worried.
Female | 41
Several possible reasons exist, such as stress, anxiety, lifestyle changes, or medical conditions. To sleep better, try to make a soothing nighttime habit such as rigorous studies or gentle exercise. Cut down the amount of caffeine in your diet. If the situation continues for; even a few nights, then counseling with a health professional is highly recommended. They would help you recognize any background issues and suggest appropriate actions that will work best for you.

Female | 32
Symptoms like heightened worry, restlessness, and difficulty sleeping can arise from trauma. This anxiety can be linked to the body’s natural response to stress. Engaging in calming activities, such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, or light physical activity, may help soothe your mind. Additionally, consider reaching out for support from friends or professionals who can guide you through this process. While distractions from your daughters are beneficial, talking to a therapist specializing in trauma can provide further relief. Remember, seeking professional help is a positive step toward healing.

How can you quit smoking permanently with the help of medicine
Female | 22
Smoking cigarettes has negative effects. You can stop with assistance and commitment. Medicines help make quitting manageable. Smoking harms your lungs, heart, and raises cancer risk. Nicotine patches or gum reduce cravings, fight withdrawal. Stick with prescribed dosages. Support from loved ones strengthens determination. It's difficult, but achievable with perseverance and 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.

Perhaps you face panic attack signs due to anxiety and stress. When anxious, our bodies can have increased pulse, throat tightness, and gas issues. Take deep breaths, drink water, relax to handle it. Additionally, therapy may help you address your anxiety. Visit a psychiatrist.

You might be experiencing a condition called obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) which is related to your cleanliness and fear of contamination. It is characterized by unreasonable anxiety and the necessity to wash your hands or clean objects several times. This may be a result of a mix of hereditary, brain, and environmental factors. Treatment may include therapy and medication which are prescribed by a psychiatrist.

Your symptoms might be due to a condition called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. This happens when your body clock gets out of sync, causing you to feel sleepy during the day and awake at night. Symptoms include difficulty falling asleep at night and feeling tired during the day. To improve this, follow a regular sleep schedule, avoid bright screens before bed, and try to spend time outdoors in sunlight.

I have been suffering from mental problems for 22 years. This is the result of excessive study and researching day and night on various topics. At first severe headache lasted for 2 years. My mind was weak. I could not stay in one place for more than 5 days. I used to run away from home aimlessly. I used to come back again. My sister wanted to get lost in the forest. I wanted to commit suicide. I tried thousands of times but failed. I drank poison once but I survived. The biggest problem was that I could not study. But I had an indomitable desire to study. I did not sleep all night. I used to get very angry. I haven't talked to Karo for 1 year. I haven't even left the house. Finally, I got some relief by dropping my studies. But sometimes this problem bothers me. Anyway, after seeing the doctor, I started tuition. After 7 years went by, but the problem did not go away, I was having a lot of problems in getting students. Not working. Not forced to work hard. Left tuition and started working in a company. It gave me some relief. Sleeping. Now my humble request is, what should I do to get fully healthy? So that I can teach tuition again and spend the rest of my life in peace. Please advise me.

The symptoms you have given, such as intense headaches, lack of strength, fleeing, contemplating suicide, and difficulties with studying, are indeed worrying. These can be caused by mental health problems such as depression or anxiety. It is necessary to seek assistance from a psychiatrist who can offer counseling and medication if needed.

To minimize such effects, it's crucial to reduce Deanxit dosage gradually under medical guidance.

Depression symptoms involve sadness, loneliness, and appetite changes. Don't ignore these signs - speak up. Trusted people like friends or family may help. Counselors or psychiatrists aid in managing emotions and coping mechanisms too. Mental health matters just like physical well-being.

My therapist prescribed for me vaincor 5mg (olanzapine) and serotyl 20mg (fluoxetine) and I'm afraid that will make me gain weight. Does this combination makes me gain weight or not??

The presence of Olanzapine and Fluoxetine, the components of Vaincor, may lead to weight gain as one of the possible side effects of their joint treatment. Yet, this may not be the case for everyone. They will want to advise you to consult your psychiatrist or another medical doctor for the full evaluation and the issue of any side effects.

Your friend might feel anxious or panicky, particularly after their dad died. Breathing troubles, weakness, or fainting could be symptoms. Feeling stressed and reacting this way isn't surprising. Suggest your friend to talk to a therapist for managing emotions and coping techniques. Don't forget, physical and emotional wellness matter equally.
