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.
Hey !
It is related to my mother , she is 57 as of now.
Diagnosed with Sugar ( type 2) , blood pressure ( anxiety related as suggested by a cardiologist), Vertigo ( sometime ago but now she is doing good with it.
Hyperthyroidism ( also diagnosed by the same cardiologist as he is general physician too)
For the last 3 years , she has had excessive religious OCD which is now impacting her daily life. She only talks about God and knowing all this she can't stop thinking about which further let her feel restless and anxiety driven by this. She is not on any medication related to this and no prior appointment to any psychiatrist. I am in a dilemma what to do as of now , as it is hard seeing her like this.
Further, she washes her more often now, the contamination issue is there, also she talks in a very depressing tone thinking she would never be getting out of this. Suggest
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.
31. Male. 5'6". 77 kg. Paliperidone. I am suffering from nervous shutdown symptoms since 2015. I also started suffering from symptoms like laughing alone or muttering past conversation I had on social media out loud since 2020. My parents insist me on going to psychiatrist for this. One time I misunderstood prescription and took 10 SOS eitizolam pills as I thought they would cure me out of shutdown but they were for weak hearted feeling that I was having. So after overdose I was hospitalized and during my extended stay at hospital I became aggressive so combined with my shutdown and aggression I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and put on paliperidone 150 mg. But paliperidone is making my symptoms worse. I now have ADHD like symptoms due to high dopamine blockade and hence cannot read( jump t conclusions and skip stuff which I feel is unimportant). Doctors says will take you off paliperidone after I get a job and become functional again. Is doctor correct in keeping me on paliperidone?
