I am currently feeling very irritable, short-tempered, and restless. My mind does not stay calm or peaceful. I am unable to feel happy or relaxed, and often get a feeling of wanting to cry. I feel mentally exhausted.
Additionally, I have a strong fear of arguments or conflicts. When someone else argues or raises their voice, my heart starts pounding. I constantly feel that it would be much better if no one argues with me. This fear is also affecting me badly.
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.
Hi Doctor I have anxiety and depression feeling regarding my past failures and I'm presently preparing for upsc.Exam is ahead.My fear and anxiety leads to shivering of my lips and sweating in hands
My nervous system never feels calm. I have a habit of doing everything on time, and if it doesn’t happen, I feel like something bad will happen. I get irritated easily, I’m always in a rush, and I can’t stay calm.”
I posted once asking about Guanfacine availability in India, and many doctors commented that it is available in India.
So I went to my psychiatrist at Sion Government Hospital, Mumbai, but my psychiatrist said Guanfacine ER is not available in India.
Now I am confused:
Is Guanfacine ER actually available in India or not?
Is it unavailable only in government hospitals?
Can government hospital psychiatrists prescribe it?
Do I need to visit a private psychiatrist/private clinic to get it prescribed?
Would appreciate guidance from psychiatrists or anyone who has personally used/prescribed Guanfacine ER in India.
