Headaches and difficulty sleeping are normal when getting used to this treatment. To relieve these signs your doctor might want to lower the dose. Be certain to inform your doctor of these side effects so that he or she can decide what would be best for your case.

Hi I'm taking esomeprazole, lisinopril, lipitor, citalopram and ropinerole. I want to know if I can take anti sweat tablets
Female | 59
It is possible that sweating contributes to the discomfort, and any medications may interact with each other. The adverted drug might also negatively affect the efficiency of other medications that you are taking. It is vital to communicate with a doctor. They will give advice or suggest something else if necessary to manage your situation.

How to overcome from the habit of masturbation, always my mind diverted towards sex and I not able to concentrate on studies.
Male | 16
Masturbation is a natural and healthy act. On the other hand, if it is affecting your daily life and your ability to focus on studies it might be a symptom of a deeper problem. It is advised that you seek the help of a mental health professional or a sex therapist.

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.

Dear sir I feel anxiety and fearness and sadness I am not taking interest in my job And I have not sleep last 2 months Pls suggest me
Male | 41
Constant worry and sadness make work hard and fun things unenjoyable. Lack of sleep worsens everything. But you're not alone in feeling this way. Depression happens for reasons like stress, difficult events, or brain chemistry changes. There are ways to feel better. See a psychiatrist or therapist too - they'll listen without judgment and provide strategies for managing feelings.

Can I take methylphenidate and clonidine HCL .1mg together?
Male | 21
Methylphenidate can be taken with Clonidine, but make sure to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Methylphenidate is used for ADHD and Clonidine is sometimes used for high blood pressure as well as ADHD. Combining them might help to control symptoms such as hyperactivity, impulsivity, or inattention. If you have any worries or notice any new symptoms then always talk to your doctor about it.

It is critical to know the underpinning of your lack of sleep. Sleep loss can be caused by factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, and medical conditions. It is recommended you see a psychiatrist to identify and eliminate the sleeping problem's primary reason.

Male | 14
You might have acid reflux making your chest feel weird after eating. It could also be anxiety. Dry, scratchy eyes are another sign of being anxious. You should try eating more slowly and staying away from spicy foods as well as doing relaxation exercises or talking with someone you trust about what's on your mind Managing your anxiousness can also help with relieving dryness so if needed use some artificial tears.

I’ve been taking Cipralex and Fluanxole for a few years and about 5 months before I started having exaggerated startle response (myoclonus and blinking as a reaction to a sudden stimulus). Can it be caused by antidepressants? I’m very scared :(
Female | 27
Various factors can contribute to this reaction, such as stress or underlying medical conditions. If you're concerned, it's important to consult a doctor for accurate evaluation and guidance on your symptoms and medication. Never alter your medication regimen without medical advice.

hello! how are you? apparently i woke up today from a nightmare, but problem is that when i woke up there was a severe coldness everywhere in my body and my heartbeat was going 180mph for the past 15 minutes now, that was like 6 hours ago, now i’m doing fine and my heartbeat is now at 86mph and i’m relaxing but i feel like i’m still traumatized haha, should i be concerned tho or is it something normal??
Female | 15
After waking up from a nightmare, feeling uneasy is normal. Your heart rate may increase quickly because your body thinks the danger is near. This reaction, though unsettling, typically subsides as you regain composure. However, if these occurrences persist frequently, discussing them with a psychiatrist would be advisable. Nightmares can sometimes reflect underlying concerns that require attention.

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 am 23 year old currently I'm understanding sleep disorders like talking while and shouting and yelling out of fear while sleeping, I don't know what is reason I don't remember what happened me waking up,
Female | 23
It seems that you might have parasomnia a type of sleep disorder. It can cause sleep talking or shouting without your awareness. This might be related to stress, anxiety, or even irregular sleep patterns. Try to manage stress levels, keep a consistent sleep schedule, and develop a relaxing bedtime routine to lessen these incidents. If this does not help, seek advice from a psychiatrist.

I wonder if I have a form of OCD. I finger tap, muscle twitch, and count syllables. Also, when I finger tap and muscle twitch, it has to be equal on both sides of my body, or else it really bothers me. Also, let's say I hit my elbow on a table or fridge, I feel a very urgent need to touch my other elbow to said table or fridge, and it is very hard to ignore the need. This has been bothering me for about 2-3 years. (Ever since I started high school).
Female | 16
Your description points to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms. OCD is a condition where thoughts repeat. People feel compelled to do actions repeatedly. This includes tapping, counting, or needing symmetry. OCD treatment usually involves therapy and medication. Speaking with a psychiatrist about symptoms is crucial.

Doctor mujhe 2 mahine se nind na ane ki problem hogayi hai usk liye mai kya karu kya exercise se nind ki bimari khatam ho sakti hai aap mujhe salah de sakte hai
Female | 21
You mentioned trouble sleeping for 2 months. That's a long time - insomnia can feel exhausting. Many factors like stress, anxiety, and poor habits contribute. Simple exercises like deep breaths or light yoga before bed may improve sleep quality. Avoiding screens close to bedtime and maintaining a routine sleep schedule are also beneficial. However, if difficulties persist despite these efforts, seeking medical advice is recommended.

You should visit a psychiatrist or even a psychologist trained on mental health. While masturbation does serve to offer a short-term release, it is not necessarily an effective cure for depression.

Headaches & fever in your daughter could be due to physical illness, tension, stress, or anxiety. Depression also causes headaches and fever, but it's usually accompanied by other symptoms, such as low mood, disrupted sleep, loss of interest, and other physical and mental signs. Consult your nearest doctor for evaluation.

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.

Tramadol helps moderate pain. Klonopin helps anxiety. Doctors prescribe these medicines when other treatments fail. You may need them long term if you have chronic pain or anxiety. However, these medicines can become addictive. So, take them precisely as your doctor instructs. Be certain to discuss any worries with your doctor.
