Psychiatrist
Answered on 29th July '24
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.

from last few days I was sick with normal symptoms like fever cold weakness and I almost recovered from it. I taken medicines and then had call with family members had some discussion and due to the discussion I was little nervous. afterwards I started feeling little scared about the things around, sweating, then omitted 2 times and was not able to fall in sleep due to uncauntiousness. from last night I am feeling like I am having acidity.
Male | 26
You had a tough experience, it seems. The symptoms like nervousness, sweating, throwing up, and difficulty sleeping could point to anxiety. Anxiety can sometimes cause physical signs including stomach issues. Try to calm down by taking deep breaths and avoiding spicy or acidic foods. If symptoms don't go away, speaking to an expert could provide more help.

Female | Nikita paliwal
All these could be symptoms of depression, which affects both the body and the mind. You may feel tired all the time, lose interest in things that used to make you happy, or even think about hurting yourself when you are depressed. These emotions should not be kept to oneself and talking to someone such as a counselor or therapist who can offer help through different methods including therapy sessions or medication might be a good start.

I am 16 year old boy and having mental and physical weakness in body. I masturbate a daily one time from 8 month. I don't like to talk with people nor even feel like connection with anyone. My sleep cycle is heavily disturbed that's why I sleep in day and awaken all night even though I don't want to do this.
Male | 16
Masturbating daily is normal but feeling weak and disconnected isn't. Lack of energy and disturbed sleep can be linked to many causes, like stress or depression. I recommend talking to someone you trust, like a parent or a school counselor, to get some help and support.

I feel like something is wrong with me , my mind wanders a lot and when it wanders i feel like i need to move and run and i do it unconsciously its like you run and jump in a dancing kind of way with your head leaning to oneside , can you tell me whats wrong ?
Female | 19
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.

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.

Hello, I wanted to know that can we start taking Bedranol a day before any stress inducing event for anxiety relief?
Female | 18
It's good to think about ways to cope with anxiety before something stressful occurs. Bedranol, or propranolol, can help with physical anxiety symptoms like rapid heartbeat and shaking. It's usually taken an hour before stressful situations. However, always consult a psychiatrist before taking new medications. They'll guide you if Bedranol suits your needs, ensuring proper use.

Male | 14
When you lay on your chest and it feels hard to get air in, that could be from anxiety. Anxiety also makes it difficult for people to sleep well at night. You can learn how to control your breathing when talking about it with them and other ways of calming down too if they know about it. Try doing things before going to bed like making a routine so that every time before sleep you will make sure that you get into bed more easily also practice good habits around sleep like not watching any screens an hour before bedtime because they keep awake longer which means fewer hours spent resting. If these symptoms stay or get worse then maybe it's time to see the doctor and tell them what’s been happening.

Symptoms like depression
Female | 50
Sleeplessness or constant fatigue may also be indications of depression. Constant sorrow as well as regular sadness might indicate one is suffering from depression if one is not in a high mood throughout the day. There are instances when this is caused by things like genetics or chemicals within one’s brain. For one to feel better they need to talk about their problems with someone close; this person could be a friend, family member, or even a therapist.

Male | 27
I get that you're down and having thoughts of harming yourself. That's depression talking. Depression can make you feel super lousy, exhausted, and lose interest in fun stuff. Life events, genes, or brain chemistry issues could cause it. But the great news is depression is treatable. Talking to a psychiatrist, exercising regularly, and taking prescribed meds can help lift your spirits.

I am using inderal 10mg twice and escitalophram 10 mg daily for anxiety from last 1 year.. Now i am good last time doctor said that we will reduce yout dose and then gradually quit this medication. Now iam far away from city and cannot go there kindly suggest me how to reduce dose
Male | 22
I advise against abruptly discontinuing any medication without consulting your doctor, especially when managing anxiety. Abruptly stopping drugs such as Inderal and Escitalopram can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms. It is preferable to seek guidance from a psychiatrist or mental health specialist for a proper tapering schedule to minimize potential adverse effects. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and regularly update them about your condition.

I am 29 years old and female. I am not pregnant and have difficulty sleeping at night. Currently I am on adco zolpidem and I find take one at 21:00 leaves me still awake at 22:10 so I have administered another, I want to know if there are other products on the market that are stronger and also should I fall asleep after taking the the second one I wake up 5 hours from administration where I take another half a tablet
Female | 29
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 have ocd and I take 50 mg of sertraline in the morning and 0.5 mg of clonazepam at night but now I am having difficulty in sleeping so can I take 1 mg of clonazepam at night,please suggest me.
Male | 30
The perfect dose of clonazepam for insomnia may not be higher, e.g. 1 mg. The same applies to changing the dosage, they should talk to the psychiatrist first. Difficulty sleeping can sometimes be one side effect of clonazepam due to a medication like sertraline and the doctor will help get the right solution for the patient. Panic, fear, or other reasons may also be the sources of your sleep problems.

I am a 18 year old female , I’ve been struggling to eat for the past month because I eat small portions and I feel uncomfortable in my own skin as if I can’t take the small portions of food anymore it’s been happening for over a month
Female | 18
When eating small portions makes you uncomfortable, it's important to ask for help. This isn't normal behavior. It could signal anxiety, stomach issues, or an eating disorder. Don't ignore these signs. Trusted friends or family can support you in getting to the root cause. Seeking professional counseling from a psychiatrist may also provide clarity.

I am 25 years old and 228, first time seeing this doctor. She prescribed me lisnopril 2.5mg only take if my blood pressure rises and my heart rate was fast. I get nervous easily and have anxiety
Female | 25
You are dealing with some anxiety and fast heart rate. It's not unusual for your heart to fasten up when you are nervous. Anxiety can sometimes lead to high blood pressure as well. The drug lisinopril 2.5mg can reduce high blood pressure but only when you need it, for example, if your blood pressure becomes too high. You should practice visualization techniques and keep calm to overcome your anxiety.

I have GAD and hypothyroidism. I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism for 1 year and GAD for almost 5 months and taking meds regularly. But I don't know if I'll recover from this. I'm tired like really tired. Will it ever be fine. Will I ever be fine?
Female | 16
GAD along with underactive thyroid driving can make you very tired. This is because your thyroid becomes stubborn with time which indirectly and gradually drains your energy level. The plus side is that you can get the right treatment and help and be well on your way to recovery. Sticking to your pills, having a good diet, and getting enough rest are essential. The process of healing will allow you over time to get back to being yourself again.

Male | 30
If you're struggling with forgetfulness and shyness, there are some general strategies you can try. To improve memory, break information into smaller chunks, use visual aids, and establish routines. Overcoming shyness involves starting with small steps, practicing self-acceptance, seeking support, gradual exposure to social situations. You may consult a psychologist or a therapist as well for overcoming social anxiety and improving self-confidence
