Sir, in  ocd I get obscene image thoughts about my mother in my mind, and I was taking Fluni 60 mg for it. Now it is not available, so I am taking Fludac 60 mg. Is this the right medicine?

Does Atomoxetine cause Urine retention? As side effect Or Is it something else that causes side effects

The doctor has written 1-0-1 for taking Fludac 60 mg for OCD, but I feel lazy during the daytime because of the medicine’s side effects. Will there be any problem if I take it after 9 PM at night?

Doctor, I was taking Flunil 40 mg for ocd under a psychiatrist for about 1.2 years. Later, I was also taking Escitalopram 5 mg under a psychiatrist, and my symptoms reduced but were not completely controlled. So I started taking Fludac 60 mg on my own because Flunil 60 mg was not available. After switching from Escitalopram 5 mg to Fludac 60 mg, I am not experiencing any noticeable side effects and I am feeling better. Please guide me whether it is okay to continue this dose or if any adjustment is needed. I currently do not have money for a consultation, so I would be very grateful if you could please advise me out of humanity.

I am from Mumbai. I went to Government Hospital, Sion Hospital, and asked my doctor if I could try Guanfacine ER because I already tried methylphenidate and atomoxetine, but both did not help much. The doctor told me that Guanfacine ER is not available in India. But in my last Practo post, many people commented that Guanfacine ER is available in India. Now I am confused. Should I try a different government hospital or go to a private hospital? I have a lot of hope for Guanfacine ER for my sleep problems, ADHD, and impulsivity. I cannot really afford private treatment, but if that is the only option, then I will somehow manage and go. Any guidance or experiences would really help. Methylphenidate didn't feel change, Atomoxetine caused Urine retention

Hello Doctor. I was prescribed Sertraline 50 mg and Clonazepam 0.25 mg for anxiety and panic symptoms. I am worried about dependency and withdrawal, especially with Clonazepam. If I take these medicines as prescribed, is withdrawal common? How are these medicines usually tapered safely, and what side effects should I realistically expect in the first few weeks?

I have been struggling with sleep and energy issues for a long time. I rarely wake up feeling fresh or rested. Even after sleeping, I wake up tired, dull, irritated, or frustrated. Throughout the day I feel low on energy and unmotivated to do basic tasks. I’m also noticing memory and concentration problems. I forget simple things very quickly for example, sometimes I forget a password I set just a day before. I feel mentally foggy and distracted often.I don’t remember the last time I woke up feeling fresh. I always wake up tired, dull, frustrated, and low on energy. It’s affecting my daily tasks and motivation.  Please guide me on how to treat this and what could be causing it.
