If you're having these symptoms.. don't stop the medications abruptly. Stay hydrated, take rest, and seek emotional support. And avoid alcohol or caffeine if you do consume. Practice relaxation techniques. Consult your psychiatrist to find the right medication and dosage for you.

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.

This is a tough situation with the 14-year-old child you're dealing with. It appears he is suffering from aggressive behavior, outbursts, and a lack of control over his emotions. These symptoms can be caused by various reasons, including emotional distress, underlying mental health issues, or neurological conditions. As he is already seeing a neurologist, it is crucial to maintain communication with the healthcare team to assess and treat the condition properly. Medications may be given to him to help regulate his mood and behavior.

I smoked a lot of thc oil daily many times and I’m wondering how long it will stay in my urine
Male | 23
Marijuana high stuff called THC that brings about a high mood can stick in your urine for a while. If you have smoked a lot of THC oil, it could have stuck in your urine for up to 30 days. The symptoms can vary but may include problems with memory, thinking, and mood. The solution is to run those with THC out of the system and help with some water intake to get flushed out.

It may feel like you might be caught in a storm of emotional pain from your stammering-induced rapid and racing thoughts. This state, caused by genetics or anxiety, is a great relief; however, when one's thought process is a vast emptiness that only confuses one's speech. Mind overload can lead to stuttering. The assistance of a therapist in overcoming your stress and thoughts becomes crucial.

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.

I was taken daxid 50 mg tablet .I am feared that tablet side effects.if any problem are effected male sexual hormone level
Male | 19
It is completely understandable to worry about the side effects of a medicine. Male hormone levels can be affected by Daxid 50 mg occasionally. This might lead to symptoms such as low sex drive or difficulty in achieving an erection. The reason for this is that the drug has an impact on serotonin levels in the brain. If you are going through these things, it would be best to talk to your doctor about them.

Losing focus is common and can happen due to pressure, lack of sleep, or distractions around you. If you often feel tired or easily distracted, try getting enough sleep, reducing distractions, and breaking your work into smaller tasks to improve focus.

When you are angry, you may be having a typical response known as tremors. This takes place as your muscles quake due to stress hormones discharged within your body. This is normal; a lot of people go through it. If you find yourself getting mad, you can try methods of relaxation like deep breathing or counting up to ten. Doing so will help soothe your system and reduce the trembling. However, if these symptoms persist and bother you too much, discuss your emotions with a therapist.

Lack of Sleep I want some sleeping pills
Female | 19
The signs of sleep deprivation, such as feeling exhausted, being moody, and having difficulties concentrating, can be bothersome. The reasons can be stress, too much screen time before bed, or a noisy environment you cannot control. Rather than sleeping pills, develop a soothing bedtime routine, such as reading a book or taking a warm bath to calm your mind. It can help you get the sleep you need.

You may feel disinterested in conversations with girls or in some activities you used to like. This is what is called depression. Speaking with a psychiatrist about your feelings is important.

Can I stop 50 mg zoloft cold turkey after 6 days of use?
Female | 25
Taking a 50mg Zoloft dose abruptly for 6 days without medical advice is not the right thing to do. The abrupt termination of this medicine can produce withdrawal of the symptoms and may affect your undesirable mental health. A psychiatrist or a mental health professional would counsel reducing the medicine very slowly and supervising you closely.
