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.

I am 62 years old and my wife 56 years.She had taken VRS from Bank job six months ago. My son is only child and a pampered one.His behaviour isn't acceptable although he would appear normal. I am worried how I could manage to give him treatment through you as he is aggressive and may also leave home

Male | 25

Aggression and hostility may be symptoms of other problems such as anxiety or depression. It is very important to handle the situation with empathy and patience. Supporting him through the process like by advising him to reach out to a psychiatrist, can be helpful. The main approach to the matter is to allow him to freely express what he feels, thus he will be able to share his issues.

Is exercise good for akathisia caused by ssri meds

Male | 22

Akathisia, the condition characterized by undue restlessness or an uncontrolled compulsion to move the body, even muscle contractions or spasms that may occur, are among the side effects of the intake of SSRIs. A physical regime that is regular will help decrease anxiety and boost the overall health status of an individual. Low-intensity exercises like walking and yoga have the energy to be miracles. However, each case is different from the other, and suggest you take your symptoms and exercise programs to your doctor.

Hello i had a panic attack yesterday and my hands and feet were going numb also my mouth so i went to the ER they did 2 syringes in my stomach of Aqua then they did one behind of diazepam i am a regular smoker and i wanted to smoke could i? If i cant should i buy a no nicotine pack?

Female | 16

The numbness of hands, feet, and mouth is the result of decreased blood flow in panic attacks. The effect of smoking on the body can make people suffer from panic attacks. Given the fact that you were prescribed diazepam at the ER, smoking might hurt it. Stay away from smoking as it is better for you. If you are in bad shape and have to, you can try a no-nicotine pack.

I have difficulty falling asleep from few weeks i close my eyes but i cant sleep

Female | 15

This can be due to various factors, including stress, anxiety, or changes in routine. It often leads to fatigue and irritability, which can impact daily life. To improve your situation, could you set up a calming bedtime routine, limit screen time before sleeping, and ensure your sleeping environment is comfortable and dark. Regular physical activity can also promote better rest. However, if these strategies do not help, speaking with a healthcare professional would be best.
