Answered on 23rd May '24

Hallucinations can be a sign of many underlying conditions I suggest that you go to psychologist as soon as possible in order to find out the cause of your hallucinations. You need to give thorough medical history to the doctor in order to help with the diagnosis. Do not medicate yourself. Instead, seek professional help.

I sent my friend to the hospital as she took Ativan and trazodone together will she be able to walk ok

Female | 26

Combining Ativan and trazodone can induce excessive sleepiness and instability in walking. As a result, a person may experience difficulties in walking and an increased likelihood of falling. There are some symptoms to be on the lookout for: extreme drowsiness, confusion, and dizziness. If your friend has taken these two medications together, it is crucial to stay with them and assist them in walking if necessary to avoid any accidents. Taking such combinations of medicines is not always advisable; hence you are advised to avoid it.

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.

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.

I’m a 23 year old that was diagnosed with ADHD 2 years ago. I have a hard time focusing and reading and have the urge to move around a lot when I try to concentrate on something.

Male | 23

It appears you're having difficulty with concentration and staying put, which are often signs of ADHD. This is because your mind functions in a slightly different way. Many people with ADHD struggle to pay attention or manage their impulses. Some things can be done such as taking medication, going for therapy as well as learning new skills that will help you handle these symptoms better.

Male | 18

OCD or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can take a long time to get better. It's very likely that you can remain on Flunil for a longer time period to gain relief from any remaining symptoms.

How to Cure my Social Anxiety ?

Male | 21

This is when you feel very afraid or nervous in social situations. You might get sweaty, have a tremble, or find it difficult to talk to people. Social anxiety can be caused by a combination of genetics and things that have happened to you. Getting therapy and counseling will teach you how to control your emotions and become more self-assured. Exercise as well as relaxation techniques can also work wonders.

Hello. I am a doctor myself. I write to seek help about my sister. 34 years old, married and living with husband with my mother, having constant auditory hallucinations since 2014, took antipsychotics, was not open to CBT, there is no improvement, rather weight gain and more depression. She has had a bunch of traumatic events since childhood and all her past villains (teacher who locked her in school at age 7 in the dark till 8PM) (an on and off absent father and his brothers) (ex husband) and God knows who, are the ones who are prompting fearful instigations in her causing her to behave erratically, fear of brainmapping and planning to kill and harm her body after mom is no more, all of this in her auditory hallucinations. There is constant crying out of unrealistic fear. What I hoped to seek from you is if you can manage to clinically hypnotise her, reach into every fear she has and nullify them at subconscious level, giving her a feel to look forward to a positive purposeful life ahead. Most other hypnotists are using Hinduism and past life karma concepts, my mother is not comfortable with it, we are moslems. Sister is on medications, prescribed by Manasa Mind Clinic but mother has to slip into some drink she refuses to take if she is told what it is for.. I would really like to discuss more if you have time, before i make an appointment for her.

Female | 34

It seems that your sister is really disturbed by her hallucinations caused by auditory perception and old psychological trauma. These symptoms may come from such terrible things she has faced and factors that emphasize her experience. Hypnosis requires a holistic approach; thus, I advocate her healing through the system. I endorse that you think of obtaining a multidisciplinary consultation by a psychiatrist for medication management and a psychologist for trauma-informed therapy. Like we have mentioned before, her therapist could offer her a space to endorse her beliefs while implementing the new ways of coping. Getting the help of the mental health professionals is the key; therefore, you need to consult a healthcare provider that can give her the right direction for her health.

Hi, my name is aiden i am 14 years old and I've been wondering if there something wrong with me when i lay down on my chest i find it a lil hard to breathe sometimes i wonder if its axizety or i might be overthinking but other then that ive been having axizety making it hard for me to sleep and i just feels like my eyes are close but im not getting any sleep what should i do

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.

I have ocd and I take 100mg of sertraline in the morning and 0.5 mg of clonazepam at night but now I am having difficulty in sleeping at night so can I take 1mg of clonazepam at night, please suggest me.

Male | 30

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 am 23 year old currently working as an assistant Professor, but for past 3years I have developed the habit of talking while sleeping and sometimes I'm shouting out of fear in the night while sleeping this was told by my mother. What is the reason. I want reduce this.

Female | 23

You may have something called sleep talking or night terrors. When one is stressed or anxious, they may talk or shout while normally sleeping. You can try to reduce the stress before going to bed by using some relaxation techniques or maybe even have a quiet bedtime routine. But if that doesn’t work out then I would advise you to see a sleep specialist who will be able to help further.

I have taken unwanted 72 pill yesterday. For avoiding unwanted pregnancy I'm patient of depression my antidepressants medicine are lithosun sr, lonazep, olimelt, aripmt . I daily take these antidepressants but yesterday not and till now . Does antidepressants reduce the effectiveness of unwanted 72. Will I get pregnant? I'm worried

Female | 21

In general, the impact of the 72-hour pill on the efficiency of antidepressants is not that significant. If used in the recommended time frame, it is meant to work against getting pregnant. However, skipping your antidepressant doses may lead to your general well-being. Pay attention to any strange signs or emotional changes. If you go through persistent anxiety or if you have other concerns, see your healthcare provider for specifically tailored advice, and they can also help both your mental health and contraceptive requirements.

I’m 24 yr having anxiety and feeling low pls tell how to treat it

Female | 24

Being upset and worried is hard to bear. These emotions are largely due to stress or life changes attributed to many causes. Some of the signs are constant worrying, being afraid, or a disturbed sleep schedule. So, talk to a person, like a friend, or a family member. After that, engaging yourself in activities you prefer and getting enough sleep can help.

"I ingested 50 mg of amitriptyline all at once on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 1 pm. It has been more than 48 hours since the ingestion, and I haven't experienced any severe symptoms. After taking the medication, I slept for almost around 24 hours. I also have IBS, and I'm concerned about any potential long-term effects or complications related to the overdose. Am I now in the safe zone? When would it be safe to resume my prescribed amitriptyline dose of 10 mg twice a day? Should I undergo any tests or monitoring before resuming the medication, or would it be safe to wait for a week and then restart my regular dose?"

Female | 23

Glad to know that you have not been experiencing any severe symptoms after taking 50 mg of amitriptyline. The fact that you slept for a long time could be a side effect of the medication. If you're feeling alright now and the time gone is more than two days there's probably nothing serious about it. Whatever the case, you should stay off your usual dosage of 10 mg twice a day for a week first. The best thing to do is to see a doctor if you experience any peculiar signs during that period.

My mother is suffering from OCD & schizophrenia and she thinks her husband and me her daughter are trying to murder her and she's dangerous. What should I do?

Female | 50

It's important to understand that OCD and schizophrenia are serious mental health conditions that require specialized treatment. It's concerning to hear that your mother is experiencing delusions and paranoia. You should seek help from a qualified mental health professional. They can provide a comprehensive evaluation and create a personalized treatment plan that may include medication and therapy.
