Mental Health

No matter how much I try, all I get are negative thoughts about myself. I hate myself to the core. I hate myself with all of my heart. But, I'm trying to do better. I'm hitting the gym. Trying to eat right. I stopped taking my meds since none of them were helping me. I was on lithium 300mg (m and n), voxitine 10mg, clonazepam 0.5mg, clomipramine 75mg, quetapine 50mg. Nothing helped me. I constantly get suicidal thoughts all the time. I feel extremely lonely all the time. Even around people. I can't afford to spend any money on meds. But, all I need is sleep. I just need to sleep. I'm struggling with the thoughts that scream in my head when I close me eyes. I need sleep.

Hello Doctor, I was taking Escitalopram 5 mg daily for about 2 months after stopping fluoxetine 40 Mg due to itching. During that time, I took the medicine regularly Flunil 40 Mg for about 8 months and symptom was controlled then, Now I have increased to Escitalopram 10 mg. I wanted to ask: - Does taking 5 mg for 2 months count as proper continuation of treatment, or is it considered inadequate/like a gap? - Will this affect the long-term control of my OCD symptoms? - Is 10 mg sufficient, or should the dose be adjusted further? Please advise. Thank you.

Hello Doctor, I had taken Fluoxetine (Flunil 40 mg) for 8 months, but due to itching I switched to Escitalopram 5 mg for 2 months as advised by a government doctor, and then Escitalopram 10 mg for 5 months. Now I am taking Fludac 60 mg. I wanted to confirm: - Was my treatment continuous, or is the 5 mg phase considered inadequate or like a gap? - Will this dose reduction in between affect my OCD recovery? Please advise. Thank you.

29. Male. 77 kg. 5'6". Lactovegetarian. Currently on paliperidone 150 mg monthly depot for schizophrenia and 20 mg escitalopram for OCD. I was pretty normal guy up until 2015. Just had habit of masturbation. I discounted my behavior as a response to and to lower stress of college. I was attracted to our maid at that point. I sexually abused that maids daughter. I felt horrified when that girl told my elder brother about this. I spent one complete evening in shock. After that I planned on marrying that maid to shield myself from consequences. But that plan and things collapsed in April 2016 when saw trailer of a marathi film which touches on intercaste issues. After 5 days I felt physically empty headed and spoke very little and very little expressions. Later I left work and started staying at home glued to computer. I now suffer from anhdepression like symptoms that responds to expectation, belief, reassurance, hope, new environment, placebo for example general doctor or self-medicin

Title: No morning erection for 3 years + ADHD meds not working — related? Post: I have not had morning erections for the last 3 years Around 3 years back, I had a UTI After that period, I was diagnosed with ADHD Since then, I have tried methylphenidate (different brands and dosages) I never felt significant improvement from the medication My concern: Is lack of morning erection linked to hormonal or neurological issues? Could this be the reason why ADHD medication is not working properly? Looking for guidance on: What tests should I consider (hormones, etc.) Whether both issues could be connected What type of specialist I should consult Thank you.

I am a mbbs doc having low mood, lost all interest in activities and life itself after getting diagnosed with cervical and lumbar disc bulge. I am feeling worthless and have anhedonia too. I can't eat anything as I have no appetite and only eat two times a day. I hate my job because i can't indulge myself in it. Everyday feels so exhausting and I feel like I have lost my purpose. Is there any hope left and is it possible to regain my interest as I have only a few months left for the next neet pg?

I would like to know if escitalopram regular use has any side effects like weight gain or worsened mood problems, and if taking it even just once would mean I have to start taking it regularly. I took one 3 days ago and that day I felt good, but next day onwards I felt lower than usual (haven't taken it since that one time). I have a borderline mood disorder (therapist diagnosed) and a suspected General Anxiety Disorder (therapist suspected). I wanted to keep clonazepam on me in case of panic attacks but a psychiatrist suggested trying escitalopram to see if it makes me feel better. Since I only tried it once, I am not certain of its effects but I'd like to know these things before I start taking it on a daily basis. Kindly let me know. Thank you.
