Involuntary Sexual Activity During Sleep
1. I have been experiencing involuntary sexual activity during sleep for about 4 years.
2. It occurs predominantly during the first half of my sleep.
3. I have partial awareness during these episodes.
4. However, I am unable to control the activity once it starts.
5. Sometimes, masturbation or other sexual activity occurs involuntarily during sleep.
6. I become aware of what happened after waking up.
7. I have been experiencing marked anxiety related to this problem.
8. I also experience low mood at times.
9. Because of this, I have developed some social avoidance.

I am having severe anxiety and depression. My doctor prescribed me paxidep 12.5 cr in evening for 1 month. Then up the dose to paxidep 25 mg cr.
But cant i take like paxidep 12.5 cr in morning + paxidep 12.5 cr evening (total basicaly 25 mg) ? Is it safe ?
Paroxetine cr available in both 12.5 and 25 mg control release. Lower dose twice a day suits me more but is it ok ?
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.
