Tongue coming forward

2021-06-22 12:01:43
Hi Docs, I am on anti depressants for anxiety(which is ok now and hopefully doc will taper soon) - Depsival Forte, Axepine 50 mg and Druthip 75 mg. Since last 5-6 days , i feel that my tongue is pushed forward and feels a little heavy. Feels unusual. Is it due to the anti depressants?? I don't have any sugar , bp, thyroid. But i am obese. Pls give me your opinion.

The drugs your taking in all probability might be causing the difficulty. Not to worry about it, it can be managed by switching the offending drug to another drug which can help you with depression and not cause such a side effect..or add a medication which can help you in such a side effect annd continue the drug which you responded .
Next Steps
consult your treating psychiatrist for assistance in medications and detailed evaluation of the condition.
