Should I Take Ativan for Anxiety After Drinking Beer?
I am 24 Year old male. Recently my dad passed away. I felt sick one night and went to hospital and they diagnosed me as anxiety disorder. I stopped the medication for one day and feeling fine but just now I’m feeling the symptoms again but I had a few sip of beer beforehand so I’m wondering if I should still take meds to help with my symptoms or I should not take meds? The medication is Ativan

Restlessness, increased heart rate, and trouble with concentration are some of the most common symptoms that anxiety can cause. Alcohol can mix with drugs such as Ativan and the patient might suffer severe side effects. The primary rule is to get advice from your doctor before starting any treatment of any kind, especially after a shot of alcohol. They will provide you with advice that suits you. Apart from that, always put your mental health first, and with the help of a professional, you can learn to handle these emotions.

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.

I am feeling very isolated and alone today. I am feeling that the worl has kicked me out.
Female | 13
These feelings may have various origins, such as stress, experiencing life changes, or lack of social interaction. It's necessary to do the things you like, connect to other people, and try out different hobbies to distinguish them. Physical exercise and the right daily plan can also brighten your day. If these feelings remain, I seriously suggest that you talk to a healthcare professional who can give you their enduring love and encouragement.

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.

Hello 2 years ago, I had ED, only sometimes (once or twice a month i used to get very hard errection otherwise it was very very spongy like) - I then had panic attacks diagnosis and started taking serlift and etizom for 5 months now. I noticed my muscles and body is grown and also I get hard errection when i have a strong desire. Sometimes twice a day but when i am sad again, i again have the problem. Is my ed because of this panic attacks? Will it go away automatically forever or can it come back after i stop medicines?
Male | 26
You’ve had a tough time dealing with erectile dysfunction before, and sometimes, medical conditions can be a cause. Feeling down or stressed can also affect your ability to get an erection. The good news is that your current medication seems to be helping. As your mental health improves, your ED might get better as well.

I have been having constant thoughts of self harm and suicide these past few years, I’ve attempted multiple times however I’ve never been to hospital for any of them, nobody even knows about them, my parents can’t get me tested due to financial issues, I don’t want to eat I have a terrible sleeping schedule, crying is a daily occurance, and I have episodes where I want to block everyone and just be alone but then I also don’t want to be alone and I get very obsessive when it’s someone I love that has broken up with me like the other week I lost it I was crying for 4 hours and I was begging for her to come back she didn’t however and now I feel horrible and I just want an answer

BPD is known for its symptoms such as self-injury, unstable emotions, fear of abandonment, and impulsivity. For example, you may feel sad, lose interest in things that previously gave you pleasure, and experience changes in your eating and sleeping habits. Genetic, biological, and environmental factors may be the culprits of both diseases. You should seek the assistance of a psychiatrist or a counselor.

Female | 30
It is okay to feel shy and stressed at times. Many people face this. It can feel hard to be with others. You might feel nervous, shy, or scared. But, you are not alone in this. Try taking small steps. You could join a club or talk to someone you trust. Taking deep breaths and learning to relax can also help lower stress. Move at your own pace. Take it slow.

My name is Deepali age 22 I have been listening to subliminal since last 4 - 5 days and since yesterday I am having side effects like dizziness brain fog nausea and blur vision can you please suggest what to do ????
Female | 22
It would appear that you have the feeling of an uncomfortable symptom like nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, and brain fog. Often this is the result of stress, fatigue, or even your body's reaction to the silent subaudio. The thing is consciously leaving them to have a chance to get relaxation to mind and body is a must. Try to drink water regularly, guarantee that you have enough sleep, and reflect on slow-tempo activities like walking. If your symptoms persist or worsen, I strongly recommend you consult a Psychiatrist for a thorough evaluation and guidance.

Hello, I wanted to know that can we start taking Bedranol a day before any stress inducing event for anxiety relief?
Female | 18
It's good to think about ways to cope with anxiety before something stressful occurs. Bedranol, or propranolol, can help with physical anxiety symptoms like rapid heartbeat and shaking. It's usually taken an hour before stressful situations. However, always consult a psychiatrist before taking new medications. They'll guide you if Bedranol suits your needs, ensuring proper use.

I have GAD and hypothyroidism. I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism for 1 year and GAD for almost 5 months and taking meds regularly. But I don't know if I'll recover from this. I'm tired like really tired. Will it ever be fine. Will I ever be fine?
Female | 16
GAD along with underactive thyroid driving can make you very tired. This is because your thyroid becomes stubborn with time which indirectly and gradually drains your energy level. The plus side is that you can get the right treatment and help and be well on your way to recovery. Sticking to your pills, having a good diet, and getting enough rest are essential. The process of healing will allow you over time to get back to being yourself again.

Alcohol addiction is serious, and professional help is vital. Be cautious with Ayurvedic remedies; extreme effects when drinking aren't common but can occur. The best option is to address addiction properly with the guidance and support of healthcare professionals.

Anxiety attacks and hyperventilation
Female | 25
When you get anxious, your body can start breathing too quickly, a condition known as hyperventilation. These symptoms can make you feel out of control, and shaky, and your heart might race fast. It occurs as a result of the brain's misinterpretation of the need for more air when the actual need is not. A technique called paper bag breathing, as well as breathing slowly, can help. Among such are uplifting leisure exercises such as mindfulness and deep breathing to mitigate your anxiety.

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.

Can I stop 50 mg zoloft cold turkey after 6 days of use?
Female | 25
Taking a 50mg Zoloft dose abruptly for 6 days without medical advice is not the right thing to do. The abrupt termination of this medicine can produce withdrawal of the symptoms and may affect your undesirable mental health. A psychiatrist or a mental health professional would counsel reducing the medicine very slowly and supervising you closely.
