I have anxiety and depression and take Nexito regularly. My psychiatrist recently increased my Nexito dose from 15 mg to 20 mg, and I have been on 20 mg for the last 5 days. I have also been experiencing neck, shoulder, and head pain/stiffness, especially with certain movements and sometimes while sneezing. The pain becomes very irritating and increases my anxiety. Because of this, I took Etizest (Etizolam) 0.25 mg on 12 June and again on 14 June. My overall SOS usage this year has been infrequent (7 doses in 5 months and 3 doses already this month).Just to mention I live in North india particularly Chandigarh. Could the recent pain flare be the main reason for the increased anxiety and SOS use? Can increasing Nexito from 15 mg to 20 mg temporarily worsen anxiety during the first few days? At what point should I be concerned and consult my psychiatrist regarding the recent need for SOS medication?

My mother was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and she underwent a hysterectomy for it in 2024. In 2025 she had surgery for hernia.Same year my father was diagnosed with ckd and was hospitalized thrice in a period of 6 months. He is now on dialysis. With all these diagnoses and multiple hospitalizations, I have developed extreme anxiety and health problems like ibs. Even the slightest issue makes me really anxious. I am the only daughter so everything comes to me. I can't take therapy as I can't afford it right now. Please suggest something to manage my health anxiety.

Hello Doctor, My brother has had a tic disorder(5years),he is now 15.  His MRI and EEG were normal. 2-3years ago, he took medicines for about 6 months, which reduced his tics, but he gained significant weight, started spitting saliva. so the medicines were stopped ,we scared. about a month ago, his tics were mild, mainly occasional hand movements. About a month ago, we restarted treatment with Arkmin and RPN tablets. Around 28 days later, as the medicines were finishing, his tics suddenly became much more severe. He developed shoulder movements and mild vocal tics.. We revisited to doctor, and now he is taking sizodon 5 mg and Arkamin.Could missing his medicines for 3 days have caused such a severe increase in his tics? Before restarting this course of medicines, his tics were much milder, so we are wondering if the recent worsening could be related to the medicines, stopping them suddenly, or another factor. please help us out.
