PPPD + anxiety disorder

I am diagnosed by my doctor with severe anxiety disorder, depression and pppd . Started with paroxetine 12.5 cr for 1 month. It definitely working for both anxiety and pppd by 50%. So now my doctor wants me take paroxetine 25 mg cr But i can not tolerate 25 mg cr even after 1 month. So can i take 12.5 mg cr twice a day ? Rather then 25 mg cr od ?

Please suggest ...i am scared

Hi Doctor, For the last 8 days, I have been experiencing a strange sensation in my head. It initially started on the left side at the back of my head, near the ear. For the past 4 days, it has changed to a feeling of heaviness or pressure, like there is some weight on that side. It is not really a headache, but I occasionally feel small, pin-like pains here and there. I have checked some of my neurological functions myself, and everything seems normal. I can move my eyes normally, walk properly, do household activities, and continue my office work without any problem. Do you think I still need a CT scan or MRI based on these symptoms? I am also quite scared about the possibility of a brain tumor/cancer. I understand that no one can rule that out without proper examination or scanning, but I wanted to know whether my symptoms alone suggest anything concerning that would require imaging. Please advise me on what I should do next.

Is this Just a normal headache or?

I’ve been having recurring headaches, and they’ve been getting worse this year. The pain is not limited to one side it can feel more general/around my whole head. The headaches can become quite intense and interfere with my normal activities. I’ve noticed they can happen or become worse after I’ve been outside for even 5 min. I’m concerned because this has been happening repeatedly and the overall pattern seems to be getting worse compared with before. I also sometimes experience nausea/vomiting around the same time, and I want to know whether that could be related. I’d like to be properly evaluated to find out what type of headache this is and whether I need any examination or tests.
