Now escitalopram whenever i was on it, has caused atleast 5 to 6 kg weight gain and i find it extremely hard to loose weight when on the drug escitalopram. I don't know what it does to my metabolism that i find it so hard to loose weight even when proper diet and exercise is followed. Please advise a solution... should i shift to another molecule or ssri which won't effect weight? Or focus more on nutrition and exercise only

I’ve been feeling emotionally numb and disconnected for a while, with very low motivation and almost no sense of contentment even after achieving things like getting multiple job offers. I experience frequent overthinking, but sometimes my mind goes completely blank or numb, which affects my mood and ability to function. Recently, I’ve also noticed memory issues, difficulty focusing, and even trouble recalling words or conversations. I feel constantly mentally exhausted, irritable, and physically drained, along with dizziness at times. On top of this, I’m dealing with a stressful family environment where I feel controlled and unable to have personal space, which adds to my frustration and sense of being stuck. I’m confused about my career decisions, feel overwhelmed by everything happening at once, and often feel like I’m not in control of my life or moving forward, even though I am. Overall, I feel detached, tired, and unsure how to manage my thoughts, emotions, and situation.

Respected doctors Respected Doctors, My mother has been on psychiatric medications for the past 2 years. She is currently taking Lithium 400 mg twice daily, Clonazepam 0.5 mg, and Zolpidem 5 mg at night. She is now stable, and we would like guidance on safely tapering her medications using a gradual (hyperbolic) tapering approach. I am concerned about the risks of dependence and withdrawal, especially with long-term use of these medications. Greatly appreciate your guidance on how to safely taper with 5 percent cuts. If there are doctors in Hyderabad with experience in tapering, that would be very helpful. Or open to online consultations as well. Thank you for your time and support.
