My psychiatrist prescribe me stamlo 2.5, etizolam 0.25 and setraline 50 mg at night. Is it safe to take all this medicine
My wife, 26F, developed severe depression, anger and shouting after her younger brother’s death. A few days later, she started having visual hallucinations (frightening man, child, woman etc.), auditory hallucinations and sometimes felt that the figures were touching her. We consulted a government psychiatrist who prescribed Olanzapine, Clonazepam, Amisulpride, Trihexyphenidyl Hydrochloride and Fludac (Fluoxetine). She has taken them for 2 months and improved significantly. Visual hallucinations have stopped, but occasional voices and confusion remain. Her psychiatrist has now been transferred and there is no psychiatrist at that hospital. Private treatment is unaffordable. Please advise whether she should continue the same medicines/doses, whether any change is needed, and whether a 30-day prescription is appropriate. We will not change or stop medicines without medical advice.
I’m looking for a psychiatrist willing to do a detailed assessment and help me understand what is actually happening and develop a practical treatment plan.
Hello doctor. I have been having a lot of fear and nervousness around people for about the last month. When people come near me or talk to me, I become very anxious and sometimes feel weak, my mind goes blank, and I find it difficult to speak normally. I also keep worrying that people are insulting or judging me, and when someone says something hurtful, I keep thinking about it for a long time. Because of this, my confidence and ability to talk to people have reduced significantly. I would like to know whether this could be anxiety/social anxiety or something else. Please assess me and advise me about treatment. I would prefer medication only if you think it is necessary. I have taken psychiatric medicines in the past, and I am currently/previously taking [write the exact names and doses of all medicines and supplements here]. Please also tell me if any of them should be stopped or changed.
