Mental Health

I am a 29-year-old male. Since childhood, I have had severe focus problems and I cannot sit still (I keep walking/pacing). About 4 years ago, a psychiatrist diagnosed me with ADHD. ADHD medicines did not work well for me. I have been trying meditation for the last 6 months, but I still cannot focus on my breath for more than 1–2 seconds. There is no improvement. I am planning to take L-theanine (200–400 mg) about 1 hour before meditation, only for initial days, to help me focus, and then stop. Is this a good idea? What is the recommended starting dose? Any better or safer alternative you suggest? Looking for expert medical advice. Thank you.

29. Male. 5'6". 74 kg. Currently taking paliperidone 150 mg monthly depot. I overdosed on etizolam last year. Doctor had prescribed it as SOS medicine. I thought taking all the pills might cure my condition as I had felt better last time I took a newly prescribed medication. So long story short I was hospitalized after the overdose. My doctor says during my hospitalization my dopamine shot up as I had gotten aggressive. He put me on paliperidone 75 mg depot on which I am still on to this day. My question was should a medicine be started for life when symptoms have been present in as acute situation as an overdose. Shouldnt things like paradoxical reaction or dopamine shoot after acute overdose should be considered before diagnosing me with positive symptoms of schizophrenia?

I’ve been having episodes for quite some time where I feel chest discomfort, often starting after acidity or gas, with a lot of burping. Once this happens, my anxiety suddenly increases and my heart rate goes up and feels like it doesn’t settle easily. During these episodes my neck and body feel very stiff, and even deep breathing doesn’t calm things down much. I’ve had ECGs done several times and they’ve always been normal, but in the moment it still feels frightening and I worry that something might be wrong with my heart. I’ve discussed this with doctors many times and was told it could be anxiety-related, and advised to take anxiety medication or see a psychologist. I want to understand what treatment or medicines could actually help, because these episodes keep recurring and are affecting my daily life.

I have been facing issues with sleep from last few days. I am unable to fall asleep even though I am sleepy and also even if I sleep I am waking up after some time, meaning disturbed sleep. It use to happen 1 or 2 times and auto resolve but from last few weeks its persistent and unable to deep sleep.
