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 ?
For the past 8 months, I have been experiencing severe headaches involving the front, sides, back of my head and neck. Initially, they lasted for short periods, but they have gradually progressed and now can last almost the entire day. I initially ignored them thinking they were normal tension headaches and took no medication, but the symptoms have progressively increased and new symptoms have appeared. I now experience blurred vision with occasional brief episodes of complete blackening of vision, eye pain and very heavy eyelids, constant muffled hearing with brief episodes of markedly muffled sounds, difficulty retaining information, finding words, getting stuck while speaking and mispronouncing words, excessive fatigue and sleepiness, jaw pain, difficulty rotating my neck, constant pain in both legs with night-time calf/foot cramps, severe hand pain, recurrent constipation, episodes of difficulty breathing, and chest/hand-arm pain. I have also noticed prominent vessels on the sides
Hello Doctor, I have recurrent neck/cervical pain. I previously had around 14 days of physiotherapy and took neurological medication for a few days, which helped temporarily, but the pain has returned.
My pain usually starts in the back of my head and then moves to my neck and shoulder. Sometimes I feel pain/clicking sound when moving my neck. I also occasionally experience blurred vision along with headaches.
I also have sinusitis and a nasal polyp. Could these contribute to my symptoms?
Considering all these symptoms, should I consult a neurologist, orthopedic doctor, or ENT specialist first? Do I need any examination or imaging?

Hi All,
I have been experiencing a very strange kind of pain on the upper left side of my head, just above the ear.
It started about 4 days ago. The pain was quite intense during the first two days, and since then it has changed into a radiating, throbbing, or “zap-like” pain that comes and goes.
Two days ago, I woke up around 5:00 AM because of neck pain along with pain in that area of my head. However, I was able to go back to sleep later without any issues.
Unfortunately, I searched Google and read that headaches that wake you up from sleep can be a sign of a brain tumor, which has made me extremely anxious.
This morning, I also experienced some dizziness, although I’m not sure whether it was due to stress and fear or something else.
The throbbing/zap-like pain continues to come and go. I have tried taking a vitamin B12 tablet and a painkiller, but I haven’t noticed much relief.
