Answered on 23rd July '24
Your relative takes bromazepam and clonazepam for sleep issues and anxiety. Both medications work differently. Clonazepam can have fewer side effects for some people. However, talk to your psychiatrist before changing any medication. They know best about medications and can guide you properly.

My brother started smoking heroine and it has been over 6 months now. He wants to quit and made a few attempts but the withdrawals and lack of will power is not allowing him. He started taking buprex as medication to combat the withdrawals. What would be best course of action for him?
Male | 21
Quitting heroin can be extremely challenging, especially without proper support and guidance. Buprex can help manage withdrawal symptoms, but he needs to undergo a structured detox program and receive counseling to address the underlying issues contributing to his addiction. Your brother should consult a psychiatrist or a qualified addiction specialist for personalized treatment and support.

It seems that you may be going through a type of depersonalization. That means that a person can observe life like an outside spectator from the viewpoint of seeing himself/herself acting. It can be associated with anxiety, stress, and other mental health issues as well. It is highly advised to communicate with someone you trust or a counselor about how you feel. They will be able to provide you with coping mechanisms. Besides, resting well, eating properly, and take a couple of breaths or practising mindfulness can also be beneficial to keep your mind at peace.

You might be facing symptoms of depression. Depression can cause a person to remove their passion for things they loved before, be easily annoyed, and become more short-tempered. This might have resulted from a chemical imbalance in your brain or a stressful situation. It is important to share your thoughts and feelings with someone you confide in or a psychiatrist to get the support you need.

im concerned about my mental health
Female | 16
If you are unhappy, anxious, or angry most of the time; struggle to focus, or no longer find pleasure in activities you once enjoyed, then it might be helpful for you to know that these are symptoms of a possible mental health problem. If you want to feel better, consider talking it out with someone who you trust – this helps more than keeping everything bottled up inside which only makes matters worse over time. You could also try some relaxation exercises like deep breathing techniques or mindfulness meditation; keeping busy through physical exercises such as jogging or swimming may help too – not forgetting to seek professional help/guidance from a counselor/therapist.

Feeling very sleepy in the morning could be a side effect of your medications, venlafaxine, and vortioxetine. It is important to talk to your psychiatrist about this issue, as they can review your medication and make any necessary adjustments. Please visit your psychiatrist for further advice and proper management.

You sound depressed. Stress can spin up in many ways which include but are not limited to headaches, insomnia, or upset stomach. A potential cause of this health hazard could also be the compulsion of life or extreme pressure at school. Get relaxed by trying different relaxation techniques such as calming, breathing, going around your building, and hanging out with a friend. Unessential as it may seem, these facts with such relevance as eating good food, doing exercise, and sleeping enough are also quite important.

Female | 15
I can understand how waiting for exam scores makes you feel very bad. Your body can get weak, and afraid, and your heart can beat fast when you are anxious. It is just how your body acts when it feels stress. To feel good, try breathing deeply, talk to someone about how you feel, and do things you like. Remember, exam scores do not show who you are as a person.

Female | 17
You might be dealing with "earworms," which is when a song gets stuck in your head. This can happen due to stress, fatigue, or simply hearing the song too often. To manage it, try switching to a different activity, listening to another song, or talking to a counselor to handle stress. Remember to take breaks from work and enjoy some downtime.

A burning head and shivering is hard. These signs may come from your meds. Some pills can make muscles stiff and make you shake. Tell your doctor about these troubles - they might change your medicine to help. It's key to report new issues while on medication.

Female | 21
Being sad and stressed out at your age is a hard situation, but you're not the only one feeling that way. Being sad, nervous, tired, and having difficulty sleeping are among the indicators of depression. Tension can make these experiences even more burdensome. Possible reasons for this could be genes, stress, or life events. Things that can help you improve your mood are talking to a psychiatrist, playing sports, and spending your free time with activities that make you happy.

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.
Male | 36
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.

I am 15 years old, I drank an energy drink at 4pm with 200mg of caffeine. I have never had an energy drink before, I was normal until now at 9pm and I feel jittery anxious and on edge and my chest kind of hurts but I don’t know if it is just the anxiety or what. Please help me is this normal.
Female | 15
A high-energy beverage containing a lot of caffeine might be responsible for your current state. You know, caffeine can make some people feel nervous and jumpy or even give them a tight chest. The deal is that caffeine is a drug; it stimulates the body. To get well, you need to take water, calm down, and don't touch anything containing caffeine.

I am prescribed 0.50 mg of alprazolam as needed. I took my dose and do not feel anything and am still having an anxiety attack. It has been 2 and a half hours since I took that dose. Can I take 0.25 now or is it too dangerous? I have no health issues.
Female | 24
Don't take more medicine without going to a doctor. You may hurt yourself if you do anything harmful. At least attempt to find some other way besides taking so much Xanax all the time because that could end badly too, like speaking halfway or breathing deeply. If these don't work then going to therapy would be great too.

Male | 36
This might be that the night shifts have disturbed your body's internal clock, which can lead to sleeplessness. The lack of sleep can also be a contributing factor to anxiety. Try to make a sleep schedule and stick to it, avoid caffeine and screens before bed, and relax your mind with deep breathing or gentle music before going to sleep.

Male | 40
You might be experiencing sleep paralysis. It happens at night when you suddenly wake up and feel unable to move or breathe for a short time. Though it can be scary, it’s usually not serious. It often happens due to stress, lack of sleep, or an irregular sleep schedule. Try to relax before bed, follow a regular sleep routine, and manage stress with techniques like deep breathing or meditation. If it still worries you, you will want to talk to a counselor or psychiatrist for more help.

Anxiety can bring about sleep difficulties and a sense that something awful might happen. This type of disorder is often seen among youth and other causes include stress, genetics among others. To manage this condition one may want to try engaging in exercises such as yoga which helps big time in calming down both our minds and bodies, deep breathing also works well for some people, or even talking to someone about how they feel either friends or therapists can be helpful too.
