Answered on 16th July '24
If you take 60mg of codeine all at once, it is more likely to cause some side effects. One of the side effects is that you may become very sleepy, feel dizzy, or have problems with breathing. Whenever a medicine reaction like the one described here happens, it is best to remain calm and save your life without increasing the doses further. In addition, it is recommended to stay hydrated, sit down, and be observant of the body's feelings for possible encounters.

I have trouble falling back to sleep when I wake up in middle of the night. What do I do?
Male | 25
One of the reasons that might be causing this is probably stress or anxiety. Although you need to sleep, your mind is busy processing thoughts that have been bothering you. Try relaxation exercises. One example is meditation through deep breathing or exercises to keep your mind off the problem. You can chat with a sleep specialist if this continues.

I am 16 year old boy and having mental and physical weakness in body. I masturbate a daily one time from 8 month. I don't like to talk with people nor even feel like connection with anyone. My sleep cycle is heavily disturbed that's why I sleep in day and awaken all night even though I don't want to do this.
Male | 16
Masturbating daily is normal but feeling weak and disconnected isn't. Lack of energy and disturbed sleep can be linked to many causes, like stress or depression. I recommend talking to someone you trust, like a parent or a school counselor, to get some help and support.

I'm 29 and male, i feel mood swings, i wake at midnight then there's no sleep, there's salty sweat and salty saliva, i can't concentrate & forget things immediately, hair loss & weight loss
Male | 29
With your signs of mood changes, severe sleep problems, and physical complications like hair loss and weight loss, you must get medical help in time. I would suggest that you try to consult with a psychiatrist who can establish the proper diagnosis through a comprehensive testing procedure. You should also see an endocrinologist for evaluation of these symptoms that may be due to the hormonal imbalance.

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
Male | 24
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.

Male | 14
This is a tough situation with the 14-year-old child you're dealing with. It appears he is suffering from aggressive behavior, outbursts, and a lack of control over his emotions. These symptoms can be caused by various reasons, including emotional distress, underlying mental health issues, or neurological conditions. As he is already seeing a neurologist, it is crucial to maintain communication with the healthcare team to assess and treat the condition properly. Medications may be given to him to help regulate his mood and behavior.

I’m taking Effexor and am having troubles sexually and skip my doses 2-3 days in advance but have nausea, dizziness and diarrhea. Is there a way to combat that without changing meds or adding anything? Can I use anti diarrhea pills or something?
Male | 37
If Effexor is missed, some withdrawal symptoms can set in like nausea, dizziness, and diarrhea. To mitigate these issues, the drug should be taken consistently. Even though over-the-counter anti-diarrhea medication can provide short-term relief, the best way to deal with the problem is by adhering to the prescription. If you are still worried, it’s advisable to seek further advice from a psychiatrist.

I am 12 years old and i took valerian to sleep and ive been feeling anxious drowsy and been having insomnia ive lost my appetite too please tell me a way how to fix it at home
Male | 12
The use of valerian can lead to side effects such as anxiety, drowsiness, and insomnia. Also, a loss of appetite is a usual issue. To make it easier, drink a lot of water, eat light meals, and engage in calm activities like walking. Being careful not to take any more valerian is important. You will feel better shortly if you rest and take care of yourself.

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.

Hi, i usually take latuda 40 mg and benztropine 0.5 mg specifically at nighttime. However, this morning i took them on accident instead of just taking my morning dose of 0.5 mg benztropine. I was able to induce vomiting to try to get the medication out of my system. Can i still take my regular nightime medications(40 mg latuda, 0.5 mg benztropine? Or do i need to wait until tomorrow night to start taking them again?
Female | 20
It's positive you made yourself vomit to remove meds from your body. Since you took them earlier today, you can still have your usual dose tonight. Just watch for odd signs like feeling dizzy, very sleepy, or heart beating differently. If anything seems bad, talk to a doctor.

Dear sir I feel anxiety and fearness and sadness I am not taking interest in my job And I have not sleep last 2 months Pls suggest me
Male | 41
Constant worry and sadness make work hard and fun things unenjoyable. Lack of sleep worsens everything. But you're not alone in feeling this way. Depression happens for reasons like stress, difficult events, or brain chemistry changes. There are ways to feel better. See a psychiatrist or therapist too - they'll listen without judgment and provide strategies for managing feelings.

I am having insomnia for almost a week plus. I usually get myself to sleep at around 10pm, but recently always sudden wake up at 1am or 2am, then I couldn’t fall sleep again. It affects my work as I will be looking extremely tired and unable to talk well with my customers. I am not sure what’s happening
Female | 34
It sounds like you may be experiencing insomnia, which means having trouble sleeping. Common symptoms include difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. One solution is to create a bedtime routine, avoid screens before bed, and try relaxation techniques. If the problem persists, consider talking to a medical professional for help.

Overthinking can make concentrating super hard. You might feel anxious or stressed too. With all those thoughts swirling around, it's no wonder you get overwhelmed sometimes! But don't worry, there are ways to chill out. Try taking deep breaths, meditating, or chatting with a psychiatrist.

It is possible that sweating contributes to the discomfort, and any medications may interact with each other. The adverted drug might also negatively affect the efficiency of other medications that you are taking. It is vital to communicate with a doctor. They will give advice or suggest something else if necessary to manage your situation.

I've had this issue for a long time; the notion of having sex with my family members crosses my mind, and even though I know it's not ethically proper, I can't stop myself. Even the notion that the person with whom I want to have sex wants to have sex with me occurs to me. As a result, I've been into a lot of difficulty. I am always depressed.

Male | 19
It can be tough to manage weak memory, trouble speaking, feeling upset, quick forgetfulness as well as past depression. I see these problems may stem from too much phone use and frequent masturbation for many years. You should cut down on the mobile phone and get help from professionals. Doctors will show you what treatments are available for this condition and how you can change your lifestyle to improve your mental health.
