After recovering from lithium toxicity few days ago, I've started experiencing brief, intense spikes of vibration-like pain on the right side of my head. These pains are quick but very different from usual headaches. Could this be related to the lithium toxicity, or is there another cause I should explore? What steps should I take next?

Doctor ! I am suffering from OCD & my doctor has prescribed me SERTA 100 MG 1.0.1. , PEXEP CR 25 MG 0.0.1. & RESPERIDONE 1 MG (MD) at 0.0.1. But the problem is that the RESPERIDONE is rarely available in strength of 1 MG. So my question is that can I take .5 mg + .5mg in place of while 1 MG at night. (0.0.1)

I am 26 years old and been suffering from severe social anxiety disorder for a very long time. Now I don't want to live like this anymore. I tried to overcame it for so long but i am always hopeless. I want to go to a doctor but i am too anxious to meet one. Also I am uncomfortable consulting one online. I feel like no one can help me. I am just wasting my life even though I want to live a productive life. What should I do i am feeling very helpless and worthless.

Is it neurological or what. Should I go from brain scan or MRI .Please someone help
