Mental Health

I have been prescribed Prolomet XL 25 (metoprolol) and Pexep-CR 12.5 (paroxetine). I read there is interaction between the two. Can i take them together?

I was on anti-depressants consistently since March 2023. (Fluoxetine for 2years, Sertraline for 8months, Paroxetine for 8 weeks, & Escitalopram for more than 8 weeks) I have recently tapered off Rexipra (Escitalopram). I was taking a 10mg dose. I switched to 5mg for 10-15 days & then 2.5 mg for 10 days. I am experiencing severe insomnia & moderate restlessness. After tapering, now I take Tranxiety (Etifoxine 50mg) to manage anxiety & it seems to be working without impairing the day-to-day function (which happened on Clonazepam & Alprazolam) DOES tapering off any anti-depressant cause - post discontinuation syndrome? HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

Finally started to move on now I'm in a situation that every time I think of that I feel like I will always land into a mess only . I'm trust anyone and i unable accept anyones love either , fear has overtaken my feelings . And now I'm in loop all the time . To be i honestly want to have a relaxing sex just like other but I don't have guts even i do i end up in anxiety, depression that I have done wrong i will be in trouble .

I used to masturbate daily since around 2014 mainly to help myself fall asleep. It was never due to strong sexual urge or feeling horny, it just became part of my sleep routine before bed. Since 2020, after learning about sleep hygiene and using supplements like melatonin and magnesium glycinate, my sleep problem has improved a lot. I no longer feel I need masturbation for sleep, and I actually want to stop it completely. However, I still end up masturbating automatically before sleep around 6–8 times per month. I don’t even feel much sexual urge, but it feels impulsive or habitual, difficult to control, and sometimes I feel unable to think clearly in that moment. I have ADHD (mainly attention deficit + impulsivity type). Since methylphenidate cannot be taken before sleep, I wanted to ask: For this type of  bedtime habit, which medicine is usually considered more helpful — Atomoxetine or Clonidine ER? Would appreciate medical guidance.
