Why do I feel sleepy but don't want to sleep?
I feel sleepy all the time but then also I don't want to sleep.
Psychiatrist
Answered on 24th Sept '24
Often, a constant feeling of tiredness yet not wanting to sleep signals sleep issues or irregular routine. Perhaps insufficient rest or poor sleep patterns occur. Stress, excessive screen time, or inadequate exercise contribute. Establish a regular sleep schedule. Limit caffeine and sugar intake and wind down before bed.

I want treatment for OCD mental problem of mine.
Male | 49
OCD is a mental disorder that makes you have unwanted thoughts or fears that cause you to do things over and over again. You might for instance check things a lot or scrub excess. Such situations may be troubling and interfere with your normal routine. Although the exact cause is not known, it may run in families. In these cases, therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and medication can help manage OCD. Don't be afraid to get support from a psychiatrist.

I can't sleep I have tachycardia anxiety. Haven't slept for 2 days. I have lorazepam here how much should I take, I have never took anything like that.
Male | 35
The first thing to do is to make an appointment with your family doctor or a specialist to discuss your tachycardia anxiety. Lorazepam self-medication is not advised, and this is especially for those who have never used this drug. Taking the wrong dosage might lead to negative effects and it could also lead to other health problems. For this condition, you will need to consult a professional for a competent diagnosis and the most useful treatment.

Depression is a disease that comes with emotions of sadness, lack of interest, tiredness, difficulty in focusing, and changes in sleep patterns. This may be a combination of different reasons such as heredity, brain chemistry, and life events. It is necessary to get support from loved ones and think about talking to a therapist or a psychiatrist to get medication to help with these symptoms.

One of my relatives takes bromazepam 5mg occasionally for her sleeping issues. Another patient who also used to take bromazepam told me that it is it has some severe side effects. He suggested to take clonazepam 0.5 mg instead is clonazepam really better than bromazepam?
Female | 42
Your relative takes bromazepam and clonazepam for sleep issues and anxiety. Both medications work differently. Clonazepam can have fewer side effects for some people. However, talk to your psychiatrist before changing any medication. They know best about medications and can guide you properly.

I haven't been feeling the effects of drugs like caffeine, codeine or nicotine for some time now and it's concerning me. I was put onto risperidone and propranolol for seven months before this started happening. Could you help me determine the cause?

The wisest step would be discussing your concerns with a healthcare professional. They'll help decide the ideal approach for your situation.

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.

You have trouble sleeping at night. You are thinking of taking sleeping pills. This is known as insomnia. It can happen due to stress, anxiety, or lifestyle habits like using screens before bedtime. Taking sleeping pills might help but they can have side effects. First, try improving your sleep routine. Avoid caffeine. Create a relaxing bedtime routine.

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.

Lack of sleep can worsen anxiety and anxiety can make sleeplessness more terrible. The backache could be a manifestation of stress or a physical one. The treatment of these issues may include a healthcare professional who can explore different options such as therapy, relaxation techniques, or physical therapy.

So, i took a 30mg codeine tablet. Then 5 minutes later i forgot i had taken it. So took another. So iv taken 60mg in 1sitting. Will i be ok. Im 33 weigh about 10st4. Relatively mind strong. I was just curios
Male | 34
If you take 60mg of codeine all at once, it is more likely to cause some side effects. One of the side effects is that you may become very sleepy, feel dizzy, or have problems with breathing. Whenever a medicine reaction like the one described here happens, it is best to remain calm and save your life without increasing the doses further. In addition, it is recommended to stay hydrated, sit down, and be observant of the body's feelings for possible encounters.

Schizophrenia from 4 years
Male | 23
Schizophrenia is a brain disorder, due to which individuals may occasionally believe that they can see or hear things that are not there, are unable to control their thoughts and translate them into proper directions, experience paralyzing fear, or believe that other people are planning to harm them. Thus, it might be that their thoughts are disjointed and rather difficult to follow. It is often recognized as associated with confusion. A group of inheritable factors, as well as the influence of the environment, can be held responsible for the development of schizophrenia.

Hello so i am a 13y old boy. Since this month i had some panick attacks and hyperventillation(i had 2 one today and one 2 weeks ago) i would ask how i can stop making having panick attacks or hyperventillation.
Male | 13
Commonly, everyone gets scared or anxious from time to time, even when experiencing panic attacks and hyperventilation. These are most likely caused by stress, fear, or anxiety. Signs are quick breathing, chest tightness, and dizziness. Apart from doing deep breathing exercises, training in mindfulness, and talking to a trustful person, can also reduce panic attacks.
