How to manage Effexor side effects without changing medication?
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?
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 4th June '24
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.

To get back on your medications, it's important to visit a psychiatrist or a general physician who can assess your current condition and prescribe the necessary treatment. Explain your medical history and the medications you were on. They will guide you on the best course of action and may restart your previous prescriptions after a thorough evaluation.

When we were kids, our brains were still growing and trying to make sense of the world around us. Being curious is fine- it’s part of growing up to think about different things or have new feelings. Reflecting on life might raise some questions for us. If these memories bother you, talking with a psychiatrist can help.

Feeling sad constantly and having flashbacks of the bad times is not easy. This could be a sign that one is suffering from depression. The inability to sleep well and concentrate are also widespread symptoms of depression. Knowing that one is not alone and that there is help is vital. You can manage these emotions by therapy or taking drugs. Speaking to a mental health professional will help you know what to do.

Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 30th May '24
It is completely understandable to worry about the side effects of a medicine. Male hormone levels can be affected by Daxid 50 mg occasionally. This might lead to symptoms such as low sex drive or difficulty in achieving an erection. The reason for this is that the drug has an impact on serotonin levels in the brain. If you are going through these things, it would be best to talk to your doctor about them.

Why am I talking and shouting in my sleep?
I am 23 year old currently working as an assistant Professor, but for past 3years I have developed the habit of talking while sleeping and sometimes I'm shouting out of fear in the night while sleeping this was told by my mother. What is the reason. I want reduce this.
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 30th May '24
You may have something called sleep talking or night terrors. When one is stressed or anxious, they may talk or shout while normally sleeping. You can try to reduce the stress before going to bed by using some relaxation techniques or maybe even have a quiet bedtime routine. But if that doesn’t work out then I would advise you to see a sleep specialist who will be able to help further.

Will vortioxetine benefit OCD, anxiety, and depression better than mirtazapine?
Hi. I suffer from severe OCD, anxiety and depression and I'm on two antidepressants - fluoxetine and mirtazapine. I am wondering about the efficacy of vortioxetine in treating OCD, anxiety and depression and whether replacing mirtazapine with vortioxetine will bring improvement to my mental health. I can't find any information on Google. Both of them are atypical antidepressants. Is vortioxetine superior or inferior to mirtazapine in general? Someone told me that vortioxetine is "very mild" in terms of efficacy. Is that true? Thank you.
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 30th May '24
Like mirtazapine, vortioxetine is believed to help with anxiety, depression, and OCD. Some trials have shown vortioxetine may be useful for these conditions. However, everyone reacts to drugs differently. Therefore, you must talk to your doctor about any changes in your medication so that they can find something that will work for you.

Is caffeine causing my jittery, anxious, chest pain symptoms?
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.
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 30th May '24
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.

It seems that you might have parasomnia a type of sleep disorder. It can cause sleep talking or shouting without your awareness. This might be related to stress, anxiety, or even irregular sleep patterns. Try to manage stress levels, keep a consistent sleep schedule, and develop a relaxing bedtime routine to lessen these incidents. If this does not help, seek advice from a psychiatrist.

Feeling Symptoms Like Depression?
Symptoms like depression
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 29th May '24
Sleeplessness or constant fatigue may also be indications of depression. Constant sorrow as well as regular sadness might indicate one is suffering from depression if one is not in a high mood throughout the day. There are instances when this is caused by things like genetics or chemicals within one’s brain. For one to feel better they need to talk about their problems with someone close; this person could be a friend, family member, or even a therapist.

Can't Remember What I'm Studying
I am studing but it is not entering my head I am facing it for last 1 month What to do?
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 28th May '24
If you are feeling tired all the time, running a fever, and experiencing general bodily malaise (like muscle aches), there is a chance that what you have could be caused by some kind of virus such as influenza. The important thing for now is making sure to drink lots of water, get plenty of sleep, and take over-the-counter medicines for symptomatic relief. However, should none of these measures work then I would advise seeking further guidance from your doctor or another healthcare professional.

Why am I experiencing weakness & disturbed sleep at 16?
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.
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 28th May '24
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.

Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 27th May '24
Daxid 50 mg could influence sexual hormones in certain individuals. They may experience symptoms such as changes in libido or trouble getting aroused. This could be because some drugs interfere with the body’s hormone levels. If you notice these changes, discuss them with your doctor. They can find a remedy for this issue or change your medication if necessary. Pay attention to how you feel and if anything seems wrong, don’t hesitate to ask for assistance.
