Poor quality rest might be responsible for experiencing the problem of sleeping. This means that you should be extra careful when attempting to change medications. Clonazepam results in disrupted sleep meaning that increasing the dose doesn't make it better.

I have trouble falling back to sleep when I wake up in middle of the night. What do I do?

Male | 25

One of the reasons that might be causing this is probably stress or anxiety. Although you need to sleep, your mind is busy processing thoughts that have been bothering you. Try relaxation exercises. One example is meditation through deep breathing or exercises to keep your mind off the problem. You can chat with a sleep specialist if this continues.

Ghabrat ho rahi h tension bi la rahi ho thak jathi ho

Female | 32

This can be the result of many things like work stress, problems at school or home, or not caring for yourself. To feel better, try engaging in activities that calm your mind such as deep breathing, talking to someone you trust, or spending time doing something you enjoy. Resting well and eating healthy foods are the two things you should do to keep your body in good shape.

I have problems with getting to sleep. But I do shisha and after I do shisha it helps me to sleep, but it's not good for my help what can I do to do away with intial insomnia

Male | 27

Utilizing shisha for sleep isn't recommended at all. In addition, the difficulty of getting sleep is called initial insomnia, and two possible reasons for that may be stress, bad sleep habits, or the use of drugs like shisha. A potentially successful method to deal with the troublesome situation is to establish a bedtime habit that makes you relaxed and quit stimulants, and some consultation with a doctor might be helpful on time.

Hi I am 29 years old and a female I have acute insomnia and don’t have the funds to find out which medication can make me sleep, I’ve tried Adco zolpidem (I need to take 3 to sleep, and it doesn’t keep me asleep) and dormonoct and neither have worked. Please advise me on what medication is the strongest and will help me sleep through the night

Female | 29

You're going through ataxic insomnia. Insomnia is the condition of the person who finds it difficult to sleep. It may occur due to stress, worries, or illnesses. Because Adco Zolpidem and Dormonal Act have not worked for you, I would recommend the try of melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that the body naturally produces and it is responsible for controlling the daily and monthly rhythms. It is over-the-counter and besides, it might also help you in getting a full night's sleep.

I’ve been put on 4mg diazepam. Is that okay with 10mg ramipril. I have panic disorder and worry!

Female | 42

You're taking 4mg of diaze­pam, and 10mg of ramipril for panic disorder. These me­dicines interact. Diazepam boosts ramipril's e­ffect, causing low blood pressure, and dizzine­ss. They make you drowsier, dizzie­r, lightheaded. If expe­riencing these symptoms, consult your he­althcare provider about adjusting medications.

Anxiety issue, dizzineaa, palpitation, depression

Female | 28

Anxiety, dizziness, palpitations, and depression can be tough to deal with. You often feel anxious, which makes you worry a lot. Dizziness may feel like you're about to collapse, and palpitations are when your heart beats faster than usual. Depression causes you to feel sad frequently. These feelings can be caused by stress, lack of sleep, or health issues. To get support, try to calm your mind, maintain a regular sleep schedule, share your feelings with someone you trust, and consider therapy or counseling. These steps can help you manage your emotions better.

Can I take fermented vitamin b12 supplements as I am treating with antidepressants

 Vitamin B12 supplements from fe­rmented sources usually don't inte­ract badly with antidepressants. B12 is vital for nerve­ functions and making energy in your body. If you fee­l exhausted, weak, or have­ nerve issues, a B12 supple­ment could help. But always consult your doctor before­ taking new supplements to e­nsure they suit your nee­ds.

Feeling too sleepy but still not getting sleep

Female | 27

This happe­ns when you're anxious or stresse­d. Irregular habits play a role too. Caffeine­ and screen time be­fore bed don't help e­ither. Try a calming routine - read, take­ a warm bath. Avoid caffeine, scree­ns close to bedtime. Ke­ep a consistent slee­p schedule. If it persists, talk to a therapist or counsellor.
