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 :(

Answered on 23rd May '24
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.

I'm experiencing many stress feelings because my past desicions
Female | 20
I don't see any need for worries or fears when you are looking back on your achievements. The most frequent expressions of the problem are anxiety, agitations, and inability to focus on the situation at hand. These responses are a result, in many cases, of suppressed feelings or concern about the future. To handle these emotions, you can use mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing and meditation. Doing other recreational activities and talking to supporting siblings can be both physically and emotionally beneficial. Go to a doctor right away or if you need help desperately, I advise you to see a medical professional. They can give specific care and resources to support you while you go through tough times.

It seems like anxiety may be the cause. Feeling nervous or troubled happens. Your breathing gets tough. Anxiety arises from stress. Or it could stem from genes. Some medical issues can lead to it too. But you can manage through techniques like relaxation. Regular exercise helps.

Female | 21
Mental pressure, depression, trust issues, and childhood trauma can make it very difficult for a person to go through life. Symptoms can be sadness, anxiety, insomnia, and loss of appetite. These emotions may be triggered due to some past experiences and stress. Speaking with a therapist or psychiatrist about your feelings and developing coping strategies is crucial to get stronger and be more resilient when dealing with problems.

Male | 18
Symptoms such as self-talk may point to the possibility of one suffering from schizophrenia. Additionally, staying in a despondent mood for an extended period can indicate the same. You should seek help within your locality; talk to a psychiatrist or a therapist. They will walk with you till you fully recover from those mixed-up thoughts of yours.

Male | 24
Based on what you’ve said, your weight loss, sadness, tenseness, and nervousness could be symptoms of chronic stress. When we experience stress for a long time, it affects our minds and our body. You should try to take it easy and find some ways to cope with stress — for example, deep breathing exercises, confiding in a friend, or doing something fun. If things don’t get better, think about talking to a psychiatrist or counselor.

It seems that your moods and eating habits are changing significantly, which could be worrying. Such conditions might be the result of numerous factors including stress, hormone fluctuations, and the like. Your well-being should be your priority. Please, develop a routine consisting of a balance between nutrition and physical activity that will be the reason for your improved mood and energy. Apart from that, social interactions with your close ones can help to alleviate.

Male | 30
If you're struggling with forgetfulness and shyness, there are some general strategies you can try. To improve memory, break information into smaller chunks, use visual aids, and establish routines. Overcoming shyness involves starting with small steps, practicing self-acceptance, seeking support, gradual exposure to social situations. You may consult a psychologist or a therapist as well for overcoming social anxiety and improving self-confidence

Female | 32
Symptoms like heightened worry, restlessness, and difficulty sleeping can arise from trauma. This anxiety can be linked to the body’s natural response to stress. Engaging in calming activities, such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, or light physical activity, may help soothe your mind. Additionally, consider reaching out for support from friends or professionals who can guide you through this process. While distractions from your daughters are beneficial, talking to a therapist specializing in trauma can provide further relief. Remember, seeking professional help is a positive step toward healing.

The effects of a birth control injection can't be washed out as it stays in your body for a specific duration, typically around three months. If you're facing problems, it's important to consult a gynecologist who can guide you on the best course of action for your situation. They can also discuss alternative contraceptive methods that might suit you better.

Female | 18
That's normal - everyone experiences those feelings now and then. Stress builds up. It makes sleeping difficult and brings tears easily. That's okay though. Try opening up to someone you trust about what's bothering you. Deep breaths or listening to calm music might help too. Don't forget: taking care of your mental health matters just as much as your physical health.

Good day doctor Since childhood, I have always been pressing on my nerves and muscles throughout my body, and I can't control myself. It's like grinding teeth, but in my body, and it's voluntary. These are not spasms; I do them, but I can't stop them. When I try to stop myself, I feel like I'm going to explode. The issue was minor in childhood and significantly reduced during adolescence almost to the point of disappearing. However, over the past few years, the problem has worsened significantly. Currently, I'm squeezing my body's vertebrae, especially my neck, and I feel like it's twisting. I consulted a psychiatrist and neurologist who said there is no organic issue, just a bit of anxiety. I took medications for anxiety and stress, but there was no effect. Thank you very much for your time
Male | 34
Pressing nerves and muscles could be body-focused repetitive behavior. This means squeezing or pushing body parts. Anxiety can make this worse. You should see a psychiatrist and neurologist. Since they found no physical problems, managing anxiety and stress may help.

Male | 25
This could be due to stress, not enough sleep, bad eating habits, or maybe even depression. The best thing to do is take care of yourself by getting enough rest each night; exercising regularly will also help keep your energy levels up throughout the day. Healthy food can improve mood swings associated with this condition. You’re still young so don’t worry too much.

Female | 15 years
Factors such as stress, changes in routine, or anxiety can contribute to this challenge. Establishing a calming bedtime routine may help, such as reducing screen time before bed and creating a comfortable sleep environment. Techniques like relaxation exercises or mindfulness can also be beneficial. If these strategies don't improve your situation within a few weeks, consider reaching out to a healthcare professional. They can provide further insights and tailored solutions to support your sleep health effectively.

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.

Female | 21
Amphetamine and methamphetamine are powerful stimulants that can produce feelings of alertness and increased energy. They may manifest as such signs as rapid pulse, sweating, and nervousness. These substances are usually manufactured illegally and can be highly habit-forming. If an individual is on either amphetamine or methamphetamine, it is crucial for them to consult with a healthcare provider on how to quit using the drugs safely.

Male | 25
There is a high likelihood of such feelings when stress is the underlying cause and leads to developing habits that seem very tough to break, for instance, the usage of pornography or masturbation. This is indeed a good initial step. To aid you in your stress reduction, you might consider employing some mindfulness techniques, for instance, some easy ones like deep breathing or meditation. Other things like regular physical exercise and the company of social people can be helpful as well. If continued feelings of confusion and anxiety exist, I am advising to consult a healthcare specialist for a collection of personalized services and support.

Male | 13
Commonly, everyone gets scared or anxious from time to time, even when experiencing panic attacks and hyperventilation. These are most likely caused by stress, fear, or anxiety. Signs are quick breathing, chest tightness, and dizziness. Apart from doing deep breathing exercises, training in mindfulness, and talking to a trustful person, can also reduce panic attacks.
